Solution 2

You need to set the max character limit for the first textbox. For example, if you set the limit to the 5 chars then on the textChanged event of the first textbox check the char length of it, and if it is equal to 5 then set focus to the second textbox and continue typing your text.

I don't know on what technology you're working on i.e Forms App or ASP .NET, that's why I am not able to code it. Below is the Forms App code,

C#

private void textBox1_TextChanged(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
   if (textBox1.TextLength == 5)  // check for the current chars in the textbox
   {
       textBox2.Focus();
   }
}

Hope it would help you. ;)

Thanks for replying..
I am using C# windows application. i don't want to set maxlength. My pronlem is my textbox with is very small. If i enter big text into that text box some charecters are not visible. i don't want to move the cursor left/right.TextBox charecters not more than textbox width.Remaining charecrters will display in other textbox.

Then it's a designing issue. Still you can manually check how many characters can be fitted within that textbox width, and according to that you can set the TextLength.

It's not the best solution but give it a try.
