TextEdit: set maximum length

Hi,
Is there a way of setting the maximum number of characters that may be entered in a text edit field.
Many Thanks,
Paul

Hi, to clarify slightly.
I am using the following htmlb control to accept text in a BSP.
<htmlb:textEdit    id       = "AREA_REASON"
                     text     = "<%=AREA_REASON%>"
                     height   = "50"
                     width    = "400" />
Currently the user can enter as much text as they want into this window. I want to limit the text to 255 chars to prevent potential loss of text when the data is passed to the back end.
If there is no way of doing this by setting a htmlb property would it be possible to use javascript to do this?
Thanks,
Paul

Parameter Text set maximum length

I have 2 paramenters with requirements below
Set the maximum length of the parameter to 4 typed in the text box.
Set the maximum length of the parameter to 2 and allow only alphabets typed in the text box.
ShanmugaRaj

Hi ShanmugaRaj,
If I understand correctly, you have two parameters in the report. You have not set the available and default values of these parameters. User would type the parameters’ values manually. The parameter value of the first parameter should be less than 4 characters.
The parameter value of the second parameter is less than 2 characters, and it can only type alphabets characters.
Suppose these two parameters is: Parameter1 and Parameter2. Please refer to the following filter:
Filter1:
Expression: =InStr(Fields!Field1.Value,Parameters!Parameter1.Value)
Operator: =
Value:
=IIF(Len(Parameters! Parameter1.Value)<=4 and
InStr(Fields!Field1.Value,Parameters! Parameter1.Value),
1,Nothing)
Filter2:
Expression: =InStr(Fields!Field2.Value,Parameters!Parameter2.Value)
Operator: =
Value:
=IIF(Len(Parameters! Parameter2.Value)>2 and
(IsNumeric(Left(Parameters! Parameter2.Value,1)) or IsNumeric(Left(Parameters! Parameter2.Value,2)))
and InStr(Fields! Field2.Value,Parameters! Parameter2.Value)=0,
Nothing,1)
If there are any misunderstanding, please elaborate the issue for further investigation.

Xsd:integer - how to set maximum length

Hi,
In a structure, I have set some of fields as xsd:integer. my scenario is file to proxy. while generating the inbound proxy, for those elements which are xsd:integer, the data dictionary fields are authomatically set to INT4. Whereas the actual field length is 15. so when i test with the data the proxy fails as there is a mismatch is the length. how do i overcome this problem.
can i set the length of the field when the data type is xsd:integer so that while generating the proxy automatically this field length is taken. or otherwise can i change the data type in the dictionary table.
kindly advise.

experts,
can anyone suggest how to deal with this issue.

How to set maximum length for TextEdit

Hi all,
I have a TextEdit UI element in my webdynpro page and I want to set the maximum number of characters that can be entered in this TextEdit. How can I do this?
Thanks,
Satyajit.

Hi Arun,
thanks for the reply. But I also want to use the same scenario for an Inputfield. Now I used the same method here and when viewed in the browser, the entire InputField has been stretched. How can I keep the view of the InputField as default but still have a restriction on the number of characters that can be entered in this InputField? It works for TextEdit.
Thanks,
Satyajit.

Hi,
Setting row and height is for layout purposes and not for the limiting of text in a TextEdit UI Element.
To ensure that the Text Exit has only 40 characters in 04s - you can do as Alka has suggested.
For doing the same in CE 7.1 - you can use the onChange Action and write code inside that method to limit the number of characters.
I would suggest that you use IWDMessageManager to show a message in the MessageTray whenever the user goes over the limit of 40 characters - rather than accept the whole text and then show some sort of popup.
Thanks.

TextEdit Maximum Length Problem

Hello Everyone.
I use a TextEdit in one of my applications. I wanted to restrict its maximum length so I created a simple type with a maximum length of 80 and assigned this type to my context attribute that is mapped to the TextEdit. Now the strangest thing happens. Whenever the input of the TextEdit reaches the actual limit (80 char) it is not stored in the context, and when I try to use it, to call an RFC or in another view its empty.
Any thoughts??
Regards,
Francisco.

Hi,
You need to set the size limit on the model, by default it's set to 100.
oModel.setSizeLimit(286);

How to set the maximum length that a user can enter in Msgstyledtextinput

Hi Everyone,
I'm currently using EBS 11.5.1 and 10.2g DB
Is there a way that I can set the maximum length that a user can input?
I changed the Maximum Length to lower number (from 150 to 100) but I get the following error.
Developer Mode Exception encountered in item SaveLocation
Error: The item SaveLocation has a maximum length (100)
         which is not equal to that of the corresponding VO attribute
       , SaveLocation length (150).
Action: Make sure they are equal in size. There must be other way to set that value
Thanks,

You have to set the maximum length of column to 150 to avoid this error.
You can set the same in Jdev.
Thanks

How set maximum character length in Fxml

Hey can any body help me set Maximum character length in Fxml.
thanx in advance

I wrote my own TextField.
I can't give you the code right now, but it's easy to create it by yourself.
0 - create a private method that deletes any unwanted char/s: restoreRightLength();
1 - Add a listener on the textProperty of your TextField/TextArea that calls restoreRightLength() method.
2 - Override the following methods:
@Override
public void replaceText(int start, int end, String text) {
super.replaceText(start, end, text);
restoreRightLength();
@Override
public void replaceSelection(String text) {
super.replaceSelection(text);
restoreRightLength();

Set maximum size in Text Form Field Options for a field in bi publisher RTF

Hi All,
How to set maximum size in Text Form Field Options for a field in bi publisher RTF.
I have a RTF whch is having a field in that i need to add some validation condition but after adding certain condition in Add help text tab ,it is not accepting after certain length, how i can increase the length to unlimited,please help me on this
Thnaks

Form fields have some restrictions if your are using version lower than 11g.
They can accommodate only 393 chars. You can add the text in both status bar and help key, which can in total consume 393 chars.
If your code logic is more than that, it can be split into multiple form fields as Avinash suggested or you can use sub template logic and handle coding over there. Again in sub template code can be within/outside form fields.
So there is no option for user to increase the size of form field.

How do I identify the maximum length of video in iMovie which can be made into a dvd in iDVD, please?

How do I identify the maximum length of video in iMovie which can be made into a dvd in iDVD, please?
I made a sellection of video clips > pressed on "share" > on iDVD > after one hour of formating the message was under "project duration" : "Your project exceeds the maximum content duration. To burn your DVD, change the encoder setting in the Project Info window."
I have edited out some of the clips and waited anothe hour or so bu the same message appeared !
I want to know in advance how long can be the video clip sellection for the quality of video chosen ( the best before HD).
please help if ou can.
thank you very much indeed.
Michael

It's trying to tell you to change the encoding setting:
iDVD encoding settings:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=iDVD/7.0/en/11417.html
Short version:
Best Performance is for videos of up to 60 minutes
Best Quality is for videos of up to 120 minutes
Professional Quality is also for up to 120 minutes but even higher quality (and takes much longer)
That was for single-layer DVDs. Double these numbers for dual-layer DVDs.
Professional Quality: The Professional Quality option uses advanced technology to encode your video, resulting in the best quality of video possible on your burned DVD. You can select this option regardless of your project’s duration (up to 2 hours of video for a single-layer disc and 4 hours for a double-layer disc). Because Professional Quality encoding is time-consuming (requiring about twice as much time to encode a project as the High Quality option, for example) choose it only if you are not concerned about the time taken.
In both cases the maximum length includes titles, transitions and effects etc. Allow about 15 minutes for these.
You can use the amount of video in your project as a rough determination of which method to choose. If your project has an hour or less of video (for a single-layer disc), choose Best Performance. If it has between 1 and 2 hours of video (for a single-layer disc), choose High Quality. If you want the best possible encoding quality for projects that are up to 2 hours (for a single-layer disc), choose Professional Quality. This option takes about twice as long as the High Quality option, so select it only if time is not an issue for you.
Use the Capacity meter in the Project Info window (choose Project > Project Info) to determine how many minutes of video your project contains.
NOTE: With the Best Performance setting, you can turn background encoding off by choosing Advanced > “Encode in Background.” The checkmark is removed to show it’s no longer selected. Turning off background encoding can help performance if your system seems sluggish.
And whilst checking these settings in iDVD Preferences, make sure that the settings for NTSC/PAL and DV/DV Widescreen are also what you want.

Field in data file exceeds maximum length...
I am not seeing why this would be failing.

HI,
the problem is delimited data defaults to char(255)..... Very helpful I know.....
what you need to two is tell sqlldr hat the data is longer than this.
so change notes to notes char(4000) in you control file and it should work.

How to set "Maximum Lenght" column property for database block at RUNTIME?

Hi folks,
Is it possible to somehow set a "Maximum Length" property for database block column at runtime?
I have a dynamic form, which maintains mostly "STATIC DATA" within all application which are stored in different static data tables (which have similar structure). But now, description column in some of those tables was extended (not in all at this stage). I would like to avoid truncating form error while reading data from those extended tables, so I would like to set an MAXIMUM SIZE to accurate value at the time when I'm specifying TABLE NAME for that database block.
What property should I use to set it?
   -- before executing query in "MAIN_BLOCK" I always set QUERY_DATA_SOURCE_NAME to user defined value => STATIC DATA TABLE name
   Set_block_Property('MAIN_BLOCK',QUERY_DATA_SOURCE_NAME,:control.table_name);
   Set_block_Property('MAIN_BLOCK',DML_DATA_TARGET_NAME,:control.table_name);
   -- here I would like to set also MAXIMUM LENGHT for particular column (based on some condition, etc.. correct value I can get from ALL_TAB_COLS dictionary
   SET_ITEM_PROPERTY('MAIN_BLOCK.DESCRIPTION', <<XXXXXXX>>, 300);What should I use instead of "<<XXXXXXX>>" if I want to overwrite MAIN_BLOCK.DESCRIPTION column's maximum length to 300?
Thanks,
Tomas

Hi Magoo, thanks for reply.
Yes, but then user can get other errors while trying to set description with value longer than in database (for all not extended tables).
Aby idea how to implement SET_CUSTOM_PROPERTY like mentioned here?
Oracle Forms - "maximum length" property.
Thanks,
Tomas

Why FormBuilder add one digit in the Maximum Length of number items...????

Hi,
Why does Form Builder add one digit to the Maximum Length property of number data base block items...????
For example , if a db column is of datatype number(2)... then this item is represented by 3 digits- not 2- in the Maximum Length....This is true if the data block is created via the block wizard....
Would it be any problem... if in the above example , i modified the Maximum Length to 2 ...????
Have you noticied it...????
Thanks,
Simon

In forms the definition of a number items length is the length of how many characters it holds and not how many digits.
If you have length 4 and you want to set a value of 22.22 it will not accept, since 22.22 is 5 characters 4 numbers and the decimal point. And just like Paul said, if the number is negative then you need one more character for the " - " minus sign.
