I think I posted an example a year or so back that limits the text
without using the @sendmsg(). I think a couple of other people also
did small examples in the same thread as where I posted my example.
It was simply a loop where it kept checking the @len(@dlgtext(EDIT1))
and if was over the limit, it would cut off any text beyond the limit.
This is actually very simple, well, to me it is. If you can't figure it out,
just say so, and I'll make another example and post here for you.

Probably something like this...
| Code: | DIALOG CREATE,New Dialog,-1,0,240,160
DIALOG ADD,EDIT,EDIT1,89,49,,,EDIT1
DIALOG SHOW
:Evloop
wait event,0.1
goto @event()
:Timer
dialog set,edit1,@substr(@dlgtext(edit1),1,10)
goto Evloop
:Close
exit |

I was searching for the old posts on this, but I think they may have been
prior to this forum being setup. So here's a new example for you:
| Code: | DIALOG CREATE,Limit Input,-1,0,212,53
DIALOG ADD,EDIT,EDIT1,16,14,180,19,EDIT1
DIALOG SHOW
Option Sleeptime,100
%%InLimit = 10
:EventLoop
Wait Event,0
Goto @event()
:Close
Exit
:Timer
If @greater(@len(@dlgtext(EDIT1)),%%InLimit)
Dialog Set,EDIT1,@substr(@dlgtext(EDIT1),1,%%InLimit)
WARN "You have exceeded the limit of this entry. Entry truncated to fit within entry limits."
End
Goto EventLoop |
