format serial number textbox

[Nicolasb]

Hi,

In the customer information dialog, I would like to force the serial number to be of the following format : "XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX". May I force the text to be in upper case and automatically add the "-" after each 5 character typed ?

Thanks,

Maybe I can use another strategy with multiple text box... But that way, how may I go to the next text box when 5 character have been typed in a textbox ?

The solution was simple, nice and easy : MaskedEdit control.
