Script question and 2 msn questions. by Ashylay on 07-21-2007 at 02:07 PM
Okay so I have got the NameEditor script which I love btw and I was just tinkerin with the script to add some more things into it because I was bored.
I was just wondering though:
1) What is the limit of characters you can have in your MSN Name
2) What is the limit of characters you can have in your PSM
3) Is there a way to limit the amount of charcters enterd into a textbox in a MsgPlus!Live Window

According to word;
129 characters for MSN Name
129 characters for PSM
This is probably wrong though...

Yes, there is a way to limit the amount of characters to enter in a textbox in a MP!L window, all you have to do is to edit the XML file or the script's code in order for them to don't allow more characters than those specified.

quote:IIRC there is no way to specify the maximum amount of characters you can enter in an EditControl directly in the XML; there are no attributes for it.

However, you can specify the maximum amount by sending the EM_SETLIMITTEXT or EM_LIMITTEXT windows message (both are identical) to the control by using the Plus! scripting function: PlusWnd::SendControlMessage.
See Official Plus! Scripting Documentation.
eg:
code:
// create window with id 'Information'
var wndExample = MsgPlus.CreateWnd('interface.xml', 'Information');
// send windows message EM_LIMITTEXT (constant value 0xC5) to the control with id 'PhoneNumber'
wndExample.SendControlMessage('PhoneNumber', 0xC5 /* EM_LIMITTEXT */, 9 /* maximum allowed characters */, 0 /* not used */)
