I was doing some research on how to make my users enter phone numbers consistantly using the same format and I happened upon the following page,
http://www.dotnet247.com/247referenc...51/257905.aspx
which seems to be an archived and compiled selection from some forum or another. In the discussion they talked about using three text boxes, all with specified lengths and using "auto-focus" on them in succession then adding in the dashes and parenthises later programaticly.
Sounds great! However, they don't ever say how to accomplish this. As far as I can tell it is a discussion between experienced programers who already know how, and they are just talking technique not actual code. Meanwhile, I am not an experienced coder and I don't know how.
So far it has been the only intelligable anything I have drummed up on the subject. If anyone has any ideas as to how to actually code what three text boxes to take focus in succession, and then programaticly add parenthises and hyphens to the text as it is entered onto an Excel spread sheet, please let me know.
Any help will be appreciated, even if it is just links to other relevant topics.
Thanks,
Amber
