[python-win32] Login dialog user ID restriction?
We have been using the login dialog that comes with pywin32 for over a decade.
Works great.
[cid:image002.jpg@01D47DA8.65B2A050]
We have a client who until recently required a 4 character max user ID. Now
they want an option for up to a 19 character user ID. I told them no problem,
that should work. One of their user decided to go for it and set their
password to 19 characters on their server, then tried to log in via the login
box. They claimed only 14 characters will fit in the User ID entry window.
Really?
So I ran some tests. I held down the 'a' key for user ID and 'b' key for
password. Result:
('aa', 'b')
User ID - 14 characters
PW - 21 characters
Then I decided to go skinny and held the i key for both. Result:
('ii', 'i')
User ID - 42 characters
PW - 21 characters
I'm a data mover and very seldom work with dialogs. The restriction appears to
be entry window size based on character width. I assumed if there was any kind
of a restriction it would be x number of characters. I've looked at how I send
could parameters to alter this behavior but don't see anything. Feel free to
verbally abuse me if I'm missing the obvious, but can anyone tell me how to
expand the number of characters I can send for a user ID?
Thank you
Gary

That's very odd. This is not from the Pywin32 code -- it has
correctly parsed your structure. That error is coming from the SetJob
API itself (ERROR_INVALID_DATATYPE). As an experiment, have you tried
coding up the exact same sequence as a C program to see if you get the
same error?
Hi Tim,
Thanks for your response.
I've not coded up the equivalent C program, as I don't have a C compiler
installed here, and haven't done any C coding for 8 or 10 years.
Were you able to reproduce the problem, or is your error analysis based
on code reading?
