Serial NUmber Entry Template

[gbrown]

Two parter here:

1) On the serial number entry page all I get are dots when the user types in the serial number. I'd like to see that stuff "in the clear". Am I blind? I can't find the option...

2) I'd like a template in the form that many program use with serial numbers. You know... little boxes with dashes? Kinda like:

_____-_____-____

The user types in and the cursor auto-jumps to the next box.

Open that screen's properties and double click on the CTRL_EDIT_01 item in the list to view the properties for that edit field control. Have a look at the Input Style settings. (Voila! :)). The help topic for that dialog has some good info on it.

To do the ____-_____-_______ thing, you could either do that with an input mask, or you could (possibly) use multiple edit fields and use On Ctrl Message actions to make the cursor jump to the next field.

Standard and Password Input Style = OK
if MyWish == Input Mask with Placeholder then
-- How to do that?
