Continuing Input Box

[Paulie 26]

If i made 4-5 input boxes, how can i make it so that when one was at its character limit, it would automatically jump to the next one, like when you enter serial numbers?

So they don't have to physically click to give focus to the next input?

Heres a GUI i made to save people from having to get their feet too wet:

#include <GUIConstants.au3>

$GUI = GUICreate("Input Box Test", 485, 77, 341, 427)
GUISetBkColor(0xDDDDDD)
$Label1 = GUICtrlCreateLabel("Input some numbers and letters", 16, 8, 151, 17)
GUICtrlSetBkColor(-1, 0xDDDDDD)
$Input1 = GUICtrlCreateInput("", 20, 40, 80, 20)
GUICtrlSetLimit($Input1, 5)
$Input2 = GUICtrlCreateInput("", 120, 40, 80, 20)
GUICtrlSetLimit($Input2, 5)
$Input3 = GUICtrlCreateInput("", 220, 40, 80, 20)
GUICtrlSetLimit($Input3, 5)
$Input4 = GUICtrlCreateInput("", 320, 40, 80, 20)
GUICtrlSetLimit($Input4, 5)
GUISetState()


While 1
    $nMsg = GUIGetMsg()
    Switch $nMsg
        Case $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE
            Exit

    EndSwitch
WEnd

Perhaps have it check for the amounts of characters in one and once that one's reached it's maximum number have it default to the next input.

$GUI_SS_DEFAULT_EDIT, $GUI_SS_DEFAULT_INPUT perhaps?

Just found "ControlFocus()" in the helpfile... seems to do what i want

I'll test it, but thanks for the help
