Alphabetic & AutoTab

I have two questions for the forum members:

1) How can I force a text entry field to allow only Alphabetic characters (no numbers, special characters, etc)?

2) I have set my text entry fields to be 6 characters in length (max and min both equal 6). Now, when the user enters six characters, I want the cursor to automatically jump to the next field. Is this possible?

Thanks in advance!

Use the NOTIFY flag feature to check the input and take actions.

NOTIFY doesn't seem to do anything until you press a button. I need to know when the Text Entry field has reached its maximum length of 6 characters, and then I want to set focus to the next text input field.

Also, still looking for an ALPHA-only setting for the text entry fields as well.

Thanks!

NOTIFY indeed doesn't work for that purpose. So without changing the InstallOptions source code, waiting for the feature to be implmented or write a plug-in which will subclass the InstallOptions window; you can't do it.

As for alpha only, there is no flag for that so you'll have to verify on the leave function.

Thanks

Thanks for your reply. I suppose, then, that I would like these two requests to be considered for future enhancements of the product. In the mean time, I'll go at it from your suggested approaches.

Have a great weekend!
