Thanks John, But with this script I limt the entry of the field to just one character. My 'problem' is dat when you keep a key pressed down more characters are entered. When you hold down the 'A' key AAAAAAAAAAA is entered. I wish to limit that. Just one entry of a key when being hold down/pressed al the time.
Any thoughts on this? greetings, William 2011/1/19 John Dixon <dixo...@hotmail.co.uk>: > > > In the script of fld "text"... > > on keyDown theKey > if the number of chars of fld "text" > 0 then > beep > exit keyDown > else > put theKey into fld "text" > end if > end keyDown > >> Hi there, >> >> I limit text entry of fld "text" with following code. >> >> on keyDown pKey >> if (the formattedHeight of fld "text" < the height of fld "text") >> then >> pass keyDown >> end if >> end keyDown >> >> One thing that I want to change now is a way to force a key to enter >> just one character after being pressed/hold down. >> Any thoughts on that? >> >> greetings, >> >> William > > > _______________________________________________ > use-livecode mailing list > use-livecode@lists.runrev.com > Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription > preferences: > http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-livecode > _______________________________________________ use-livecode mailing list use-livecode@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-livecode
