Hi then you use this in your text change event like thais protected void OnTextChanged_FirstName(object sender EventArgs e) { getNameFormUi(); } private void getNameFormUi() {foreach (Control c in Page.Controls) { foreach (Control childc in c.Controls) { if (childc is TextBox) { if(!string.isnullorEmpty(childc.Text) childc.text.tabstop=false; } } }}

Jaganathan Bantheswaran · Answer

You can set all the controllers Tabstop to false using this.Controls.setAllControlsTabstop(false). But for each control you have to use OnTextChanged.
