Hi Rich,
I'm also facing the same problem; when i'm trying to use this method LIMIT_TEXT than i'm getting error saying that this method is protected or private. Please let me know how to access the protected method in this case. Code pertaining to this will be very helpful.
Thanks & Regards,

Thank you t quinn for your reply as I do really appreciate the help.
I don't quite understand what your suggestion was and before I try to figure it out and play around with numbers, I thought I should clarify further. When i wrote I want to paste the content into the cell and have it limited to 100 characters I was mis-spoken. I actually have all the content already in the columns in a spreadsheet and would now like to just limit some of the columns to hold only 100 characters in a cell so that when its a CSV file it will be accepted to the program I'm trying to upload it to.
SO does that change the way you can answer my question?
Is there a way to just limit the content currently in a spreadsheet to 100 characters per cell?

How do I increase the number of characters in the course title/certificate wizard

Using Captivate 4.
My manager, who will never say anything in three words that can be said with seventeen, wants a very long
title printed in a certificate. I'm using the certificate wizard and the title is being taken from the Project name recorded in the Preferences/Project/Info box. I can get everything in the box, but it does not print on the certificate. Can I expand what is printed on the certificate?
BTW: I do not have access to FLASH, and it is pretty much a mystery to me.

Thanks Jerry

Is there a way to count the number of chars in a formatted text box?

I have a formatted text box in my web dynpro for comments pertaining to workflow.
in the backend, this is mapped to a char200 field.
is there a way to have a running counter to let the user know how many chars are left? I'm not sure if there's an event to use for that.
thanks,
robert.

Hello Robert,
There is no way to get a running total of characters typed by the user - if you really need this functionality - consider creating an Adobe Flash Island.
There was in the last year another thread which covered pretty much the same theme - it could be worth looking at that - although you will find that the eventual solution is the same as I suggest above.

How do I increase the number of characters in the Contact Email?

When adding a contact email to a folder I am limited to only 30 characters! This is most frustrating because once you have added the email address of the company this only allows you to have a name of less than 15 characters long!!!!
How I can change the default email from 30 to 50 characters long please?

Thanks Jerry

How to increase the number of characters in Text Edit??

Hi,
How to increase the number of characters we enter in the Text Edit, for example i can't enter not more than 255 characters. If to enter upto 500 char, what to do.
Thanks and regards,

We can't restrict the number of characters a UI element can take. Rows and columns properties are to specify the visible no of rows and columns.
If u want a restriction in the number of characters you have to create a simple type and set it to a context attribute and then map it to the text view.

Is there a way to set a limit on the number of characters each cell will hold in numbers?

Hi there, I'm creating a CSV file via Numbers and would like to set a limit to the number of characters a cell will hold in numbers. This way, when I copy text from my source, and paste it into the numbers cell, the text will be cut off at the character limit I've placed for that cell.
Specifically, I would like my character limit per cell in a column on a new spreadsheet to be 100 characters. I have text to copy & paste into roughly 10 different cells and I'd like it to all be 100 characters.
I am using Numbers version 9 of iWork and 10.7.5 OS.
Any help is appreciated.

Coding - returning the number of characters in a text box.

I am in the process of creating a cell phone simulation/animation in Edge Animate CC for use in a Captivate course. Basically, when a user clicks on number buttons on the virtual keypad, it displays the numbers in a text box , just like an actual cell phone would display the phone number on the screen as a caller is dialing. So, the user would click seven buttons and a seven-digit phone number appears on the virtual phone screen. This part of my animation works great and all seven digits appear, but I would like to modify the code so that a hyphen appears after the third button clicked. This way, the output better resembles an actual phone number instead of just a string of seven digits.
Here is an example of the code I currently have assigned to the #2 button on the virtual keypad:
var text = sym.$("PhoneNum").html();
text = text + 2;
sym.$("PhoneNum").html(text);
PhoneNum is the name of my text box on the stage where the digits appear as each keypad button is clicked.
In order to incorporate the hyphen after the third button clicked, I need to somehow return the current number of characters in the PhoneNum text box, then create an if/else scenario that applies the hyphen after the third button clicked.
Does anyone know how I can use either JavaScript or jQuery to return the number of characters currently in the PhoneNum text box?

No problem!
Basically the thing to remember is that unless you are needing to pass html to the object, you can use text() instead. text() also gives you the raw text without any html formatting (so you can assume what .html() would return)

How to limit the number of characters?

How can the number of characters typed on a component (for example a multi line text area) limited? (such a way if the limit reaches then the keyboard should not be responded)
This is very common in Internet application development but I don't know how this can be easily achieved by JSC?
Thank you very much.

Hi,
In the properties sheet, under the data section, the length validator is available. The length validator does not stop the user from entering after the max length has been reached. Once submitted the validator will be invoked and an error message displayed. An RFE has been filed on your behalf for the same.
Thanks
Cheers

How to limit the number of characters a label displays?

Can someone please tell me how I can limit the number of characters a label displays from the text property?

Ok. What I am trying to do is display a number with the format
x.yy
I need the display to show all characters all the time. For example let me show you what I currently get and what I require.
Current     Require
0               0.00
0.1            0.10
etc
To me its like the label is truncating the number appropriately and I dont want it to do that. I need a fixed 4 character format.
Hope this clears it up.

Is it possible to use NUMCHARS to display the number of characters in a block of text instead of the whole document? How?

Is it possible to use NUMCHARS to display the number of characters in a block of text instead of the whole document? How?

Getting the character count for a paragraph is trivial:
Sub NumChars1()
MsgBox Selection.Paragraphs(1).Range.Characters.Count
End Sub
Even outputting it to the document is trivial:
Sub NumChars2()
With Selection.Paragraphs(1)
.Range.InsertAfter .Range.Characters.Count
End With
End Sub
The real issue comes when you want to update the document. If the destination paragraph is only ever empty or contains the character count of the previous paragraph, you could use:
Sub NumChars3()
With Selection.Paragraphs(1)
.Next.Range.Text = .Range.Characters.Count & vbCr
End With
End Sub
