Infield Character Text Limit?

JGoode — Tue, 27 Jun 2017 08:57:43 GMT

Is there any way that I am able to limit the amount of characters that someone can type into the infield? Either that or is there any way that you can display the entire amount of text that is in the infield in the object?

Thanks.

First, define a Parameter of Text type, called "superLongInfield".

_v=0
_vv=23
	ui_infield "superLongInfield", 0, _v, wd, ht
	_v=_v+_vv
	ui_outfield superLongInfield, 
	0, _v, wd, ht
	_v=_v+60

I don't see a way to limit the length of infield input but the above will display the full text from infield (not dynamically, but upon change of focus). Works in AC20

And what, STRLEN does not fit?
!!! Master script
nn=77 !max number of characters
n=STRLEN (string_expression)

!!! At the time of filling ui_infield "string_expression" will be a warning.

if n > nn THEN PRINT "Exhausted the maximum number of characters."
