How to set the maxlength for a combo Text

Hi Team,

I need to set the maximum length for combo box Text as 12. If i try to enter the 13th character in the combo box.. it should not be allowed.. How can I achieve this?


Thanks in Advance

There is no built in support for such feature, but you can use the next approach

- attach custom code to onKeyPressed event
- get length of combo text by combo.getComboText
- if length exceed limit, update it and set shorter value back by combo.setComboText
