How do I limit amount of characters in a field?

[shawnblc]

Code: Select all

on keyDown theKey
   if theKey is not a number then
      beep
   else
      pass keyDown  -- I'm searching on  a way to limit the amount of characters ex.  limit 5
      end if
end keyDown

Hey...

put this in the script of the field...

Code: Select all

on keyDown theKey
   if theKey is not a number then
      beep
      exit keyDown
   end if
   
   if the number of chars of me = 5 then
      beep
      exit keyDown
   else
      put theKey after me
   end if
end keyDown

be well,

Dixie
