Text Input Limit

[nullschritt]

Hello, it's been a while since I've coded at all.

I decided to finish up an old project of mine, so i went ahead and installed thew newest autoit and beta and ISN.

I got my project working as expected, all but one problem. The text inputs for the username and password only seem to allow a certain number of characters, after I hit the limit the program just goes "ding" as if to let me know I can't type any more.

Does anyone know why I'm having this problem?

You say "text inputs", in what type of control (GUI, InputBox, MsgBox?)? How about showing us some code that gives example of the problem, rather than asking us to guess?

 

Edit: On a GUI Input, for example, I can get in many hundreds of characters, depending on the size I make the control. A running example of your code will help us help you.

Look at GUICtrlSetLimit in the help file.

Look at GUICtrlSetLimit in the help file.

Tried the following:

Global $pwd = GUICtrlCreateInput("", 14, 238, 150, 25, 32, 544)
        GUICtrlSetLimit(-1,500)

Same results. The input is limited to 14 characters, which is the exact width of the control, it won't let me type anything "longer" then the control.

Fixed: Needed to add autohscroll.
