[Solved] Edit box-Characters 30000-Lines 673 -Restriction ?

[armoros]

Hello my friends In a script i have with just an Edit control, when i type too much it does not allow me for more. i have an app that counts the characters and says i have typed 30000 char. and 673 lines.

Anyway is there a restriction on how many characters we can type in an Edit box ?

Thank you

Looks like there is a 30000 character

[armoros]

Oh..thank you Water so there is a limit..

Thanks for the link...

[water]

I don't know if this value (default value?) can be extended. Maybe someone else can shed some light on this?

Have you looked at GUICtrlSetLimit ? Set the limit to 2000000 characters and see if that fixes it.

Did it work? This is weird because I was just noticing this right this instant when working with a little debug edit box for a compiled script.

#include
#Region ### START Koda GUI section ### Form=
$Form1 = GUICreate("Form1", 623, 449, 192, 114)
$Edit1 = GUICtrlCreateEdit("", 8, 16, 609, 409)
  GUICtrlSetLimit(-1, 2000000)  ; sets the limit to 2000000 characters or you can put the maximum 2147483647 as user PhoenixXL sugests
GUICtrlSetData(-1, "")
GUISetState(@SW_SHOW)
#EndRegion ### END Koda GUI section ###
While 1
$nMsg = GUIGetMsg()
Switch $nMsg
  Case $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE
   Exit
EndSwitch
WEnd

Hey Positive Results..............

I got that 2147483647 is the Maximum Value that a Edit Control Can Hold

Using This Code

#AutoIt3Wrapper_au3check_parameters=-d -w 1 -w 2 -w 3 -w 4 -w 5 -w 6
#include <GuiEdit.au3>
#include <GuiConstantsEx.au3>
Opt('MustDeclareVars', 1)
$Debug_Ed = False ; Check ClassName being passed to Edit functions, set to True and use a handle to another control to see it work
_Main()
Func _Main()
    Local $hEdit
    ; Create GUI
    GUICreate("Edit Set Limit Text", 400, 300)
    $hEdit = GUICtrlCreateEdit("This is a test" & @CRLF & "Another Line", 2, 2, 394, 268)
    GUISetState()
    MsgBox(4160, "Information", "Text Limit: " & _GUICtrlEdit_GetLimitText($hEdit))
    MsgBox(4160, "Information", "Setting Text Limit")
Local $x=2147483630,$sdata
While 1
  _GUICtrlEdit_SetLimitText($hEdit,$x)
  $sdata=_GUICtrlEdit_GetLimitText($hEdit)
  ConsoleWrite("Information"&@TAB&"Text Limit: " &$sdata &@CRLF)
  If $sdata<=0 Then ExitLoop
  $x+=1
WEnd
    GUIDelete()
EndFunc   ;==>_Main

Thumbs Up If it Helped
