Auto tab to next text box after user scans barcode

jvierra - This is great information. Thank you. I got everything working almost the way I wanted. I configured the scanner suffix with the ascii horiz tab code and used $txtBoxA.Text.EndsWith("`t") to reposition the focus. For multiple scans I just split the tabs to store each item in to a...

Auto tab to next text box after user scans barcode

Ahh.. I had not considered that. Although programming the scanner to enter a carriage return or tab did not work to change the focus, I ended up configuring it to add a space to everything scanned and use $txtBoxA.Text.EndsWith(" ") to execute the $txtBoxB.Focus() method. I'll just have to...

Auto-Tab to next text box after input

Seems I might be missing something very basic here. I would like to simply focus the control after the user scans the data but I don't know how without using a TextChanged event on the control and if the length of the string is not consistent then TextChanged does me no good. The process should go l...

Auto-Tab to next text box after input

Thanks for your reply but the only problem with that is the user may or may not be near a keyboard as they are using a wireless handheld scanner and are often not near the workstation.

I really hope I don't have to abandon this layout for my previous one.

Thanks,
Jason

Auto-Tab to next text box after input

One question though - what if I don't know the length of the field? The problem I'm running up against is obviously if $txtBoxA.Text.Length is greater than 7, the cursor is jumping to the next field after 7 characters are entered. This field is used to collect hard drive serial numbers and the lengt...

Thanks, Alexander! Works perfectly.

{
if ($txtBoxA.Text.Length -ge 7)
{
$txtBoxB.Focus()
}
}

Auto-Tab to next text box after input

Hello, I want to build a small form used to collect three barcodes from a handheld scanner to three separate fields. Is there any way to auto-tab to the next field after scanning a barcode so the user doesn't have to manually tab to the next field before scanning again? In the mean time I designed i...
