I'm wondering if its possible to make a maximum length of the number of characters that is possible to type into a text box?

You code it instead:

code:

---

var MaxLength = 100;

function On<YOUR_EDIT_ID_HERE>Event_EditTextChanged(PlusWnd, ControlId)
{
  var Text = PlusWnd.GetControlText(ControlId);
  if(Text.length > MaxLength)
  {
    PlusWnd.SetControlText(ControlId, Text.substr(0, MaxLength));
  }
}

I havn't tried it but I think it should work. If it doesn't, I hope you get the idea.

Edit: if you want to add a beep you could use this function.

code:

---

function Beep(frequency, duration)
{
  Interop.Call("Kernel32.dll", "Beep", frequency, duration);
}

Beep will use the computer speaker to generate a sound.
If you want to use a waveform sound, you have to use MessageBeep.

Beep doesn't use the speaker to generate a sound.
It uses the sound card or something.

Heh, thanks. All I need was the text field limit, thanks

If you're not limiting it based on a specific pattern, then it'd be better to just use EM_LIMITTEXT.

Actually, it is a pattern of sorts. The text field is going to be for a hex colour value

something like this?  =]

code:

---

PlusWnd.SendControlMessage("YourEditControlId", 0xC5 /*EM_LIMITTEXT*/, 6 /*new length*/, 0);

For patterns it's better to monitor each character as it's entered so you can determine if it fits the pattern and then cancel it
