Is it possible to leave a control once the maxium number of characters
have been input for the control without having to press the tab key?

I have a line in a script as follows:
Gui, Add, Edit, vLocation Limit1

The issue is that the tab key needs to be pressed to leave the control
after the single charcter has been input. In this case, it would be more
desirable to just go to the next field after the single character has been
input.

Thanks.

you could ad a g-label option to the edit, and that subroutine would read the field, and if it is filled with the required number of chars (1 in this case) then set focus on the next control

GuiControlGet will et you get the text
GuiControl will let you move the focus.
