Is there a good way to count the characters in a text while typing in DB Memo? Effects> Max Length can limit Text to 500 characters. I need some way to tell a user they are coming close to their 500 limit. This code will do that when I first enter a field and all the other EEP options except On Key Press :
SET VAR vZHousCurr = (SLEN(.vZHousCurrLivNote)) RECALC VARIABLES PROPERTY vZHousCurr REFRESHLIST 'True' vZHousCurr gives an integer which the user can see. Putting this code in On Key Press simply adds characters but does not return a value. Adding Saverow creates a long delay. Click to another field and returning gives an immediate correct response since it is an Enter EEP. I assume On Key Press fires whenever I hit a text key. I use On Key Press regularly as part the Keyword process in EEPs to search column data, never used it for text like this. What am I missing?
