B4J Question _TextChanged

[JTmartins]

I was trying to do a fancy thing. Not important but helpfull and came across a problem.

I have a text field where all input is always in the format XX-XX-XX

So I tryed this in order to add the "-" automaticaly

Sub edtMatricula_TextChanged (Old As String, New As String)
    If edtMatricula.Text.Length=2 OR edtMatricula.Text.Length=5 Then
        edtMatricula.Text=edtMatricula.Text&"-"     
    End If
End Sub

It does work partially. The problem is that after the "-" is inserted by the routine the cursor reverts to the begining of the field and the user has to move the cursor to continue typing in the proper place.

I tryed some variations of the above...but always the same result.

Any ideas of how to implement this ?

Add this line:

edtMatricula.SetSelection(edtMatricula.Text.Length, edtMatricula.Text.Length)

Ah ah...perfect as usual Erel.
