In one of my forms, im making a spot for ip addresses to be entered and
I want to have them in 4 blocks. 192 in one, 168 in two,and so on. What
I want to be able to happen is when I fill one box to the maximum size
of three, automatically tab to the next one so i can type 192168123321
and it get saved in the 4 appropriate boxes. How can I do this and was I
clear with my question?
Thanks in advance
 
create input masks for each of the text boxes for the required length
one = "000"
Two = "000"
Etc.

Then for each text box, set the Auto Tab property to true
 
ok now what i think i might want to do is auto tab when ever a . is
entered, that way if i type 192.168.1.2 it will automatically tab over
after 192, then after 168, then after 1, and after 2, so it would also
work with something like 12.12.333.2
thanks
 
That sounds reasonable. Why do you need to put it 4 different text boxes?
If you must :), then you may consider using the Change event of each textbox
to see if the last character entered was . or, you might want to use the
Keypress event, or you might want to go home, take a nap, the reconsider the
whole idea.
