Maximum characters allowed in Edit Box, how to set?

I have an Edit Box in a screen designed using screen painter.
I want to restrict the user not to type more than 20 characters.
Is there any properties available in the Edit Box, like set max length = 20 ?
BTW i am using 2004.2B

Hi Sankar,
                 I am assuming ur scenario .it might be right or wrong.
               U have designed the screen using screen painter and   kept one editbox right?
             are u bounded that editbox to databound property to true. and given the table name and alias name (column name) .
              I think ur database <b>bounded column size is 20</b> . Please check with the size of column , which is <b>bounded with ur editbox</b>.
   Hope it helps
Regards

In the Numeric Edit Box, how can I set the number appearing on the right side?

I tried to use its property node, the position only can set on "the Top" or on "the Left"? I know this is easy one, but it will save my time to search for the solution! Any one can help?

Hello,
I assume you want to change the justification of the number within a numeric control or indicator to be on the left, in the center, or on the right within the display. I don't know of a way to do this programmatically, but you can do it from the front panel by clicking in the control with your text tool, going up to the font menu ring on the toolbar, selecting "Justify", and choosing "Right". You can find out more information about manipulating front panel objects in the LabVIEW Help.
If this doesn't answer your question, let me know, and please be more specific in your description.

How to 'Only' allow Numeric value in the Edit Box in AcroDialogs

Hi all,
I've create an AcroDialog wizard, I need to allow onlu numeric values in the Edit Box. Can someone please help me with this validation?
Regards,
Chris

There isn't a keystroke event for custom JavaScript dialogs, or any proper interactive events for the fields. You can validate fields when the user presses OK, and you can test fields when the user changes focus by setting the "Action" property for the field. But the only practical way to restrict user input to numbers is to use George's suggestion. There is a number property for the fields but it has an undesirable side affect and I never use it.

How can labview update the string control (text-edit box) after we have pressed the carriage return key on the keyboard during text-editing within that box?

Dear readers,
I have been trying to work out how to get labview to detect the event when a 'string' control has been modified, where the user has finished editing the string either by 1) pressing the enter key on the keyboard, or by 2) taking the focus away from the string control again. For example.. if I use the mouse to click on the string control and then I type 1234 into the box, I would like to have a routine that does something once the user hits the Enter key of the keyboard, or when the user takes the focus away from the string control again by clicking on something else. I would like the routine to respond even when the user didn't change anything in the text box (such as when we mouse-click on the edit box to go into edit mode, and then mouse-click on something else to remove the focus with no changes to the contents in edit-box).
The purpose of my routine is to have a edit-box for a user to change for example the centre-frequency of a vector network analyser, so that the centre-frequency of the network analyser can change once the user finishes entering a new value in the text-edit box by hitting Enter key after the number is keyed in. Even if the user has clicked on the edit box, but changes their mind by mouse-clicking on something else to remove focus from the edit box, I would still like labview to detect the event when the control loses focus, so that the centre frequency can be updated anyway (to the same value that was already in the edit box).
So far, I've tried set the string control option to 'limit to single line', so that I can try to scan for a carriage return .. '\n' ... pattern in the string. Unfortunately this doesn't work because labview doesn't seem to attach the '\n' to the end of that single line.
Could someone please suggest ways to set a flag when a user hits Enter during text-edit mode of a string control, or when focus has been removed from the string control?
While I've only described my problem for controlling a single control parameter on the gpib device, I'd like to make this feature work so that I can do the same kind of thing with other control parameters as well.
Thanks so much in advance.
Kenny

Hi Kenny,
instead of using the event structure, you can directly achieve to what you want by the KeyFocus property of the string control.
- Enable Limit to single line option
- Create the property KeyFocus in read mode and connect an indicator
Each time you click on the string to modify it KeyFocus is True; when you click away or hit Enter KeyFocus is False.
You can toggle your settings when KeyFocus changes from True to False.

How to save contents of two different rich edit box into single rtf file in windows 8.1 app

Developer, I have requirement to save registration data into rtf file.. These can only be done by if I put rich edit box to fill the data.. Now if I am going to write the code for saving the data of different rich edit box into one particular file, it
only saves the data of last rich edit box.. So plzz suggest that how can I save the contents of different rich edit box together into one rtf file.

Ok Nishant, just did some quick research, since rtf file is unlike txt file, we cannot simply directly write some content to the rtf.
You can try to find some third party code that can help you insert text into rtf file or you would like to load the content from rtf out to the richeditbox and merge them to one richeditbox and then save back to the file.
You could like to see how to read/save rtf file sample from:

Hi,
You can read data and modify it from another program using assign.
Here's an example of modifying in internal table from another program in CRM
FIELD-SYMBOLS : <fieldcat> TYPE slis_fieldcat_alv,
<links> TYPE crmt_kw_document_change.
ASSIGN ('(SAPLCRM_KW_SERVICE)gt_link[]') TO <links>.
With the above assign you can alter the data
Kind regards, Rob Dielemans

How to align the text vertical in the edit box in mfc?

Hi,
I had an edit box of which height is increased than the default.Now the problem here is when I am entering text into the edit box the text is not present at the centre of the edit box, It is still aligned at the top.
After increasing the height of the edit box the text and cursor are aligned at the top as shown in the below figure.
But Actually how I want is the text and the cursor position needs to be aligned centre as shown in the below figure.
Note: "EDITTEXT IDC_EDIT_BOX,10,73,156,14,ES_AUTOHSCROLL"
Can anyone please help me how can I make the text and the position of the cursor to be aligned vertically i.e, to the centre of the control.
SivaV

If vertical alignment is not possible, then use an edit box without borders, having the default height, and place it inside a static control having
SS_WHITERECT style. (In MFC Dialog Editor, set the Type and Colour properties). Both of controls will be children of dialog. Use a proper tab order. Check if the style
WS_CLIPSIBLINGS is needed too.

How to validate the number of characters in Text Entry box?

Hi
I have inserted a text entry box and assigned a variable (UserName) to it. Now, I need to limit the entry to a maxinum number of 20 characters. In other words, how do I validate the number of characters in the text entry box and provide feedback if it is more than 20 characters?

Thanks.
I have posted this as a query on the relevant post on Jim's website. I am too new to regular expressions. I hope he will help with an example as well.

Michal,
iCal Help is a good place to start. Here are a couple of examples:

Maximum Characters Input Box

What is the fattest letter? i.e. what should I use to test
that content always fits within an input box regardless of what the
user types? Is it the letter "M"? I know M is used as a standard in
other design circles.
Thanks

Thank you. Is there an easy way to do the opposite, have a
user's text adapt to the textfield? For example, I have an input
textField that is 100 pixels in width, single-line, size 20 _sans
font (Maximum Characters turned off for demo. purposes). You can
input 5 "M's" before the field begins scrolling right, or you can
enter 24 lowercase "l's". In this case the input is for a form that
will be printed, therefore scrolling cannot occur (since it wouldnt
show up on the print form), and Maximum characters must be turned
on. So I would have to limit maximum characters to 5 right? In
reality I'm working with much larger textfields, but you get the
idea. Is there a way to set the maximum characters based on user
input?

How to hide DecisionUserNote text edit box?

Hi everybody,
Could you tell me the way to HIDE the text edit box which appears in the UWL preview of some tasks used to include a note?
It is supposed that filling NOTES in the Sections to exclude iView property would do it but I'm not getting the expected result.
Neither including the property DecisionUserNote to false in the XML configuration tasks...
THanks in advance!

HI Jesus,
What version of the Universal Worklist are you using? This is really important as I know that there was a fix with regards to the UserDecisionHandler. The following are the values that should be maintained with this propery:
Memo is turned on by specifying u201Ctrueu201D as a value.
<Property name="UserDecisionNote" value="true"/>
Mandatory memo is specified by putting u201Cmandatoryu201D to value.
<Property name="UserDecisionNote" value="mandatory"/>
Memo is disabled by using u201Cdisabledu201D as a value.
<Property name="UserDecisionNote" value="disabled"/>
After changing configuration in regards to decision note cache should be cleared.
If this doesn't help please let me know the version you are using so I can check and see if there is a patch available for your version.
