You could make two edit text boxes with a static text box in the middle. Callback handling could automatically switch focus from the left box to the right box after a certain number of characters is entered. I tested this out in GUIDE and it looked reasonably good.
I'm not aware of a built-in way to fix a character within an edit text box.
Hope this helps.
