Partially highlighted datebox

[mpgalvin]

Anyone know how to get a textbox containing a date to first highlight the first 2 characters, when tab is pressed, highlight the 4th and 5th, when tab is pressed once more, highlight the 7th and 8th and when tab is pressed once more come out of the box.

Much like the time control in Windows' Date Time Properties box?

I would start by having a look a the selstart and sellength properties

Thanks, but I downloaded a VCX from UT which did exactly what I needed plus more!
