How to set maximum length for TextEdit

[Former Member]

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

create simple data type.there you can set the maximum and minimum length for your data type and bind it to the text edit.

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 Chakraborty ,

Try setting the "length" property of the Input field to the required number of pixels or percentage..

Thanks a lot everyone for your replies. Just one question though, I couldn't find a "length" property of an InputField. Do I need to do it programatically? Is there a setter method for this?

Thanks,

Satyajit.

hi

no need to do it programmatically.set it in the simple data type length or else try it in length property of inputfield(right click the inputfield and choose properties and there will a length option).
