Hello. I have four textboxes, each with a maximum length of three. I was wondering how I could have the software automatically move to the next text box once three characters were entered into the textbox (similar to when you are entering a license key in a program). Thanks in advance.

I guess I should have been more specific; tbis is a windows form application, not a web application.

Also, I know that these are the steps to take, I just don't know how to take them!

Set a maxlength for your first textbox for instance 3...

Then set focus for the next textbox in your first textbox TextChanged event:

textBox1.MaxLength = 3;
...
...
private void textBox1_TextChanged(object sender, System.EventArgs e)
{
if(textBox1.Text.Length == 3)
    textBox2.Focus();
}

Thank-you. The Focus() method is exactly what I needed!
