It's default is user must hit Tab or use mouse to move the cursor to next field.

How to implement this request?

Answer 1

There may be a more clever way but at first glance I would say a simple way would be to you add a TextChanged event to your TextBox and then when the number of characters hits the 3 you mention then set the focus to what you want.

So if this is in your xaml:

<TextBox x:Name="MyText1" TextChanged="txtChanged"/>
<TextBox x:Name="MyText2" />

Then in your code something like:

private void txtChanged(object sender, TextChangedEventArgs e)
{
    if (MyText1.Text.Length == 3)
    {
         MyText2.Focus()
    }
}
