How to Set Cursor Position to the Right in an Alpha Field in CSPro?

Post by shafim0123 »

Dear CSPro Family,
In one of my survey listing tools, I need to preproc the value "JJS-2/", and the remaining HH number will be entered by the data entry operator. For example, the final value should look like "JJS-2/001", where only the last 3 digits (here treated as text, because filed is Alpha format) are entered by the user.

The field is in Alpha format, but the problem is that the cursor (data entry point) always starts on the left side of the field. Because of this, the user needs to press the arrow keys to move the cursor to the right to enter the last 3 digits.

Is there any option in CSPro to set the cursor position or start the data entry point on the right side of the field?

Thank you.

Hello,
I do not see any option to move the cursor to the last digit, however you can use two fields, the first who shows for example "JJS-2/" in protected mode and in the new field you can type those 3 digits. Internally in the application you can concat both fields and have the desired result.
Hope this tip can help you to solve the situation.

To add to Mario's comment, if you are you conducting data using Android, you can put that protected field on a block so that both fields are visible at the same time:
