Number of characters for text areas

Hello

I was wondering if it is possible to add a number of characters (in the corner of a text box), as does the native application of Twitter, but so that it shows the number of characters that are in the text box, as it is typed.

Is it possible to do in the Cascades?

Thank you

Hey Buddy, it's too easy, you should use the length property to analyze how many letters you use in your text box

  • How to find the real width of a field (number of characters) for a particular font

    Hello

    Is there a method to find the number of characters that can fit in a field label or a BasicEditField for a particular font.  Font.getAdvance (str) gives the width in pixels.   Based on the width of the screen, I want to calculate the length of the label field number that is, characters that it can take.

    Thank you.

    Well, I did a deeper look at your code. It is a way to walk around a division, true.

    But why not work with integer values?

    int screenWidth = Display.getWidth ();

    int largestCharacterWidth = defaultFont.getAdvance ("W");

    Now you can work with these integers.

    int fieldLength;

    {}

    fieldLength ++;

    } While (filedLength * largestCharacterWidth)<=>

    It would be a little more efficient.

  • Does anyone know if you are limited in the number of characters in the text field?

    I have the scrolling text of the distant rear side right up to the edge on the left front. I only get to halfway through the message of full text and letters are mixed at the any end. is there a limit on the number of characters I can use? Is there a setting a limitation I can increase?

    It seems to be. I figured it at approximately 16000 characters more or less (or even lower). (Estimated from the original character TextEdit limit as it seems to be this type of core service text text handling in movement and FCPX.)  I drew this conclusion during the development of a method to create a movement subtitles. It finally turned out that I had to cut the scripts into pieces 'chapter of size' to keep the character countdown. I never got to finish this tutorial and it has been quite some time now (and I can't not find my notes on the subject). It could be that the number of characters estimated is actually lower.

    There is no way to reset the limit.

  • Coding - returns the number of characters in a text box.

    I am trying to create an animation/simulation of cellular phone on board animate CC for use in a course of Captivate. In fact, when a user clicks on the number keys on the virtual keyboard, it displays the numbers in a text box, just as a real cell phone will display the phone number on the screen as a caller to connect. Thus, the user must click seven buttons and a seven-digit phone number is displayed on the screen of the virtual phone.  This part of my animation works fine and all seven digits appear, but I want to change the code so that a hyphen appears after that the third button clicked. In this way, the output looks like better a phone number instead of just a string of seven digits.

    Here is an example of the code that I currently assigned to the #2 in the virtual keyboard button:

    var text = sym.$("PhoneNum").html ();

    text = text + 2;

    SYM.$("PhoneNum").html (Text);

    PhoneNum is the name of my text box on the stage where the numbers appear as a click is performed on every key on the keyboard.

    To incorporate the hyphen after the third button clicked, I need to return the number of characters in the text PhoneNum sort box, then create an if/else scenario that applies the hyphen after the third button clicked.

    Anyone know how I can use JavaScript or jQuery to return the number of characters currently in the text box PhoneNum ?

    SYM. $("PhoneNum") .text () .length;

  • How to validate the number of characters in the text entry box?

    Hello

    I have inserted a text box entry and assigned a variable (UserName). Now, I need to limit the entry of a number, maxinum of 20 characters. In other words, how can I validate the number of characters in the text entry area and provide feedback if it is more than 20 characters?

    I think that you should study the Jim Leichliter widget that allows you to use regular Expressions to validate text input.

  • Limit the maximum number of characters per line in the TextField, help please

    Hello Livecycle designers!

    It would be great if you could help me with the following problem. I have a TextField with 5 lines (limit of the viewable area and the exact height) and I want to limit the maximum number of characters per line up to 10 (as well as the total in this field at 50, but I'm able to do with the option "time limit, max characters").

    As far as I know can be done only by the script so if you change that I wrote:

    lines of the var = xfa.event.newText.toString().split('\n');

    i = Lines.Length,
    maxChar = "10";

    If {(maxChar)
    While (I--> 0) {}
    If (rows [i] .length == maxChar) {}
    XFA. Event.change = "\n";
    }
    }
    }

    and actually who works very well when instead of '\n' in the 1st line, I put any character (e.g. ' |' and I won't pretend that ' |' is my new \n).

    So the main problem is to split the text entered by the user in lines (the '\n' is unfortunately not working). So the solution to this problem would somehow split my Textbox in lines (in table) after the user presses ENTER.

    I'd appreciate any help here, so if you have just 2 minutes of your time, please help me.

    Hello

    I have rebuild your idea... that is the result.

    var Input = xfa.event.fullText;

    var FullLength = Input.length;

    var SplitLength = 10

    var SplitParts = Math.ceil(FullLength / SplitLength)

    var JoinString = "";

     

    for (var i = 0; i)<= splitparts;="">

    {

    SplitString = Input.substring (0, SplitLength);

    Entry = Input.replace (SplitString, "");

    JoinString = JoinString + SplitString + "\u000a";

    }

    xfa.resolveNode("Textfield2").rawValue = JoinString;

  • Texts are too strong

    Hello, when I use Mozilla, search Web sites small-time. Because the texts are in default appearing too strong, I turned off as a TYPE-SPECIFIC Windows option. Chrome is OK. But why Mozilla always has this feature? How to fix?

    The text of the anti-aliasing in Firefox works better with hardware acceleration enabled. If you visit the support information page, you can see if Firefox currently uses hardware acceleration. You can open it only by using either:

    • button "3-bar" menu > "?" button > troubleshooting information
    • (menu bar) Help > troubleshooting information
    • type or paste everything: in the address bar and press Enter

    Scroll up to the graphic header and then in the following table, there is a line indicating the number of windows accelerated on the total number of open windows ("GPU accelerated Windows"). Which indicates that Firefox is accelerating all the windows?

    If hardware acceleration is not the case, this could be for these reasons:

    (1) Firefox needs you to update your software driver graphics card/chipset. See: update your drivers graphics to use hardware acceleration and WebGL.

    (2) even if you have the latest version of the driver software, there is a known issue, so it is temporarily locked in this version of Firefox.

    (3) you disabled hardware acceleration, perhaps for troubleshooting.

    None of this seems not to apply to your Firefox?
