How can I limit the # of entries in a one line text box. I would like the limit to correspond to the attached data base. PBWin 80 &/or PBForms
Would like a beep when over the stated limit.
Control Add TextBox, hDlg, %TXT_TEXTBOX1, "Textbox1", .....
Control Send hDlg, %TXT_TEXTBOX1, %EM_SETLIMITTEXT, MAX_LEN&, 0
Limits user input to MAX_LEN& characters and sounds 'Default Beep' if user tries to enter more.
(In the example above 'Textbox1' would be included in the limit unless deleted.
The limit does not apply to programatically entered text e.g.
Control Set Text hWnd, %TXT_TEXTBOX1, "Some string greater in length than MAX_LEN&" 'would be accepted).
