how to auto-fill a textbox?

[Lisana]

hello, is there anyone know how to auto-fill a textbox? I have 4 textbox, first_name, middle_name, last_name, and full_name, I want the full_name textbox to be auto-filled when the first_name, middle_name, and last_name entered, so user doesn't need to fill in the full_name textbox. any idea to do this? thanks. Lisa

Handle the TextChanged events of the 3 text boxes, you could even do this with a single function. Combine the contents of the 3 text boxes and place the result in the FullName textbox.

Private Sub NameTextBoxesChanged(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles FirstName.TextChanged, MiddleName.TextChanged, LastName.TextChanged
FullName.Text = LastName.Text & ", " & FirstName.Text & " " & MiddleName.Text
End Sub

In VB.Net this should work (code is untested): Private Sub Textbox_TextChanged(Sender as Object, e as EventArgs) Handles first_name.TextChanged, middle_name.TextChanged, last_name.TextChanged full_name.Text = first_name.Text & " " & middle_name.Text & " " & last_name.Text End Sub
