Fill the textbox

Israel

Hi!

textbox and button:

I have a textbox that I limited the maxlenght to 10 caracters.

Then if I insert for example 3 caracters its will left 7 blank or white spaces. This 7 blank spaces left I need to be filled automatically with a "---------" until at the maximum of 10 caracters.

In other way, each number of caracter(s) inserted cannot have blank space letf inside of the textbox. Otherwise should be filled with this line "---------".

But if I insert 10 caracters then there is not need to fill the rest of my textbox.

Many thanx

For this, you need to add a Masked Text Box on your winForm. and Set following properties either through property window or through code (on Form load method);
this.maskedTextBox1.AsciiOnly = true;

this.maskedTextBox1.Mask = "CCCCCCCCCC";

this.maskedTextBox1.TextMaskFormat = System.Windows.Forms.MaskFormat.IncludePromptAndLiterals;

If it helps you, please mark the answer accepted.

its a winform.

I didnt write any codes. But its something like this:
btnTest = "--------" ;

As I said before after to insert one or more caracters, the "--------" should complete or fill the rest of white (or blank space) inside of the textbox. That's all.
For example, I limited my textbox with a maxlenght of 10 caracters. When I insert two caracters. Its will miss eight caracters to fill at maximum to my textbox. Then what I need? When I click on the button the rest of with space must automatically be FILLED with this "-----------".
In conclusion, if I insert 10 caracters inside of that textbox. Logically its will not be filled with this "-----------". Because its allready full.
