Use SendMessage( ControlID, EM_LIMITTEXT, limit_number, NULL )
where 'limit_number' is your limit.
Example:
include win32lib.ew
constant
Win = create( Window, "limit", 0, Default, Default, 200, 100, 0 ),
Box = create( EditText, "", Win, 10, 10, 180, 20, 0 )
procedure onOpen_Win()
atom nil
-- limit of 10 characters in Box --
nil = sendMessage( Box, EM_LIMITTEXT, 10, NULL )
end procedure
onOpen[Win] = routine_id( "onOpen_Win" )
WinMain( Win, Normal )
-- Brian

4. Edit Control
Hello all,
I need some help understanding Edit Controls.
Specifically how you setup a GUI to react to keys and the exit method.
Not everyone uses a mouse on their machine so how would you go about
setting focus to another control. You have to maintain a TAB-key in the editor
and an ENTER key is out of the question.
I do know how to trap certain keys and send a message to the subclassed from the
subclass
"sending the message to itself", I do it like this.
elsif iMsg = WM_KEYDOWN then
if wParam = VK_BACK then
junk = c_func(xPeekMessage,{tagMSG, c_func(xGetParent,{handle}), 0,
0, PM_REMOVE})
junk = SendMessage(handle, WM_CHAR, wParam, MAKELONG(1, 14)) --send
it to ourself
this traps the BACK-BUTTON in the edit control and sends a WM_CHAR message which
I could
inturn process further. Pretty easy stuff, right..
What key would I need to use? this will save me some time looking.
TIA,
Euman

My guess too was CTRL-TAB but wasnt sure if there might be
another variation that people use.
Thanks dude,
Euman
