Text Length

I have a text box which I want to limit the number of characters but does not give me this option or similar to some length ... as I can do this.

sorry for my basic English.

Capx

It's a nice little trick using one event and the system expressions related to strings.

Thanks Kyatric ! ... Now, I am to viewing how is it

Oh yeah, I forgot, the example was made in R96 (the very latest beta release at the moment)

I find the version 96 ? ... because at 95 I can not open your project. thanks

Check my previous post.

sorry, I don't press F5 in my laptop

Thank you very much Kyatric ... that's what I wanted, Greetings

Glad it helped <img src="smileys/smiley4.gif" border="0" align="middle" />

Hi

I'm looking for the same trick but link to capx file is dead...

It's really strange that textbox object in C2 haven't an option like MAXLENGTH by defaut

link works - just downloaded it now.

Edit: Wow, just what I wanted - super cool thank you

This almost works like I wanted it to. The "problem" is this:

1. Type text until box is full

2. Move cursor to the middle of the text

3. Type one character

Result: character is added in the middle of the string, last character of the string is deleted

Expected: should not be able to type that character in the middle.

I believe I'll manage to make it work by using some instance variable to store the "last known good" string, but I think a "MAXLENGTH" property would be great to have on text boxes.

Yeap, it worked (CAPX). I still think we should have a maxlength <img src="smileys/smiley17.gif" border="0" align="middle">
