Topic group Related topics

Specifies the maximum number of characters allowed in a combobox or entryfield.

Property of

Combobox, Entryfield

Description

When a Combobox or  Entryfield control is dataLinked to a field, the control automatically reads the length of the field into its maxLength property to set the maximum number of characters allowed.

You may set maxLength manually to override this setting, or when using a combobox or entryfield that is not dataLinked to a field. If you set the maxLength longer than the field, the entry is allowed, but the field value will be truncated when the value is stored in the table.
