Hi Glen,

One liner handler in the script of your field (if you please) :

on keyDown pKey
if (pKey is an integer) and (the number of chars of the selectedLine < 5) then pass keyDown
end keyDown


Best regards from Paris,

PS. My ears don't like beep ;-)

Le 23 avr. 05, � 12:50, Glen Bojsza a �crit :

I would like to limit the number of characters a user can input on any
line in a scrolling field.

In the field script

on keydown theKey
  if theKey is not in " 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 - . " then
    beep
    exit keydown

No need exiting: nothing else can happen!

  else
    if (the length of me) > 4 then
      beep
      exit keydown

Same comment :-)

    end if
    pass keydown
  end if
end keydown

  "if the length of me is > 4 then..."  this works but limits the
TOTAL field to 4 characters.


Amicalement,

Eric Chatonet.
