Dear AI-Team,
I just realized that an Edit Box is limited to 252 characters. Changing the property Text {260} to anything bigger does not change this behaviour (AI 16.3).
Any ideas if this can be enhanced?
Best regards,
Angelo

Hi, thanx for the link.

Hi,
Please accept my apologies for the delayed reply on this.
I am not so sure why this happens. Can you please send us the .aip (project file) to support at advancedinstaller dot com so we can investigate its settings?
If you cannot share with us your project file, then you can try to isolate the behavior in a buildable sample (.aip + its referenced files) which we can build and test on our side.
All the best,
Daniel

Hi,
I have tested the setup configuration but I cannot replicate the behavior. The only behavior I can replicate is that when you set the "Text" attribute to {260} and you type in (multiline) the following input:
you can no longer type in any additional character. But please note that even you see only 252 visible characters, the above input includes 260 characters. There are 4 new lines invisible characters (don't know for sure but I assume a \n sequence) which count 8 chars I suppose.
To double check on this just copy and paste the above input in a text editor tool (e.g. Notepad++), select it and you will notice the selection includes 260 chars.
If you want to be able input a large number of characters into your edit box control just set the "Text" attribute to {0} , this will allow you to enter up to 2147483646 characters.
If there is anything else we can help you with just let us know.
All the best,
Daniel

Hi Daniel,
thank you, this works as expected.
I realized tha somehow I was able to to change the property, selected another dialog and when I switched back the property was reset. So my property change was never saved. After a few tries I was able to save it and it works as expected.
