From: Reboot327 on 12 Sep 2009 14:22 I hope this is as simple as I think it is. I just can't figure it out. Lets say I have three textboxes for a phone number maximum sizes are set for 3-3-4 What I want is when you enter the third char in the tbAreacode, it changes the focus automaticlly to the tbPrefix, and after the third char is entered it moves focus to the tbSubfix. I have been looking in the event and I can not find an event that happens when a textbox is full.(reached max char) Also is there an (events window) that shows you what events are happen, when you are debbugging??

If maximum length is reached, call the next' Textbox Focus method. Be aware that the user may type new characters not at the end of the text or paste from the clipboard, so maybe you also want to check the SelectionStart/Selectionlength properties. > Also is there an (events window) that shows you what events are happen, when > you are debbugging??

If the length is 3, call tbPrefix.Focus. The OP posted the same question both to the Classic VB group and to the VB.Net group, making it quite clear that his question relates to VB.Net, and yet you have ignored his post in the VB.Net group and instead posted your response here in the Classic VB group. The OP's post to the Classic VB group was a simple mistake, but your own response to it in that same group was a deliberate act of annoyance. You are a troll, Alex, and you are becoming a pain in the neck. But then of course that it your purpose here, to infest the Classic VB newsgroup and to deliberately disrupt it and annoy its members, so you will probably be very pleased that it has had the desired effect. I've copied this response to the dotnet newsgroup so the people there will know what you are up to here. I really do wish Microsoft would police these groups more thoroughly in order to get rid of deliberately destructive idiots such as yourself. Mike

I somehow doubt MS would take issue with me politely answering someone's question, regardless of the group it was posted in. Come to think of it, now that I know just how much it irks you that I'm helping people in here, I think I'll continue to do so at every opportunity...

Thank you very much ,that was the perfect jumping point that I needed. What I was talking about when I mentioned the (event window) is: Are there any ways to monitor the events that are called while running a program in debug. Let say I am running the PHONENUM program, and I want a list of all events that happen during the running of the program, stuff like mouseover, got focus, lost focus, textchanged, and the like. That way I can get a better feel of what is happening in the background.
