can I limit number of chars in a dialog string?

[vix]

Hello,

I need to display a dialog window, where the user can type a string.
Now I want that the string length is less than 10 characters.
Can I limit the number of chars in the string (so that the user can't insert the 11th
character)?

Thanks in advance

Hi vix,

You could catch the value change event for the string and limit the length to ten.

See attached.

Could you save this vi in LV 7.0 format, please?

Thanks

I personally like using the filters in this case... makes the display more stable.

Hi vix,

I am attaching a vi that will help you out in restricting the number of characters to 10. But the thing is the string will take all the inputs as long as you keep typing in it. But the final output will be only 10 characters.

I'm sorry, but I have to ask you the same:
