Characters limitation dynamically

[former_member199125]

Hi Guys,

In webdynpro can we limit the number of characters in Text edit box, i mean i want to show instantly how many number of characters he entered.

Any ideas guys?

Check image for better understanding of question.

in image observe on right hand corner... .left characters 131 ( it means user can enter only 131 characters more ). like that is it possible in webdynpro?

Regards

Hi Srinivas,

to react on key strokes you need Javascript. Unfortunately in WDA it's not possible to inject JS.
The only solution that comes to my mind is, to embedd an BSP Iframe with the text-input and the javascript source.

I guess it should be possible through custom code and also that there is no event for Text editor. There is no standard functionality provided.

You need to explicitly create a button to calculate the count of words or check wether Modifyview gets triggered or not to write the code.

Take that string and try to find the count of words using any function module if any.

For Limitation test these examples -

WDR_TEST_TEXTEDIT

WDR_TEST_TEXT_EDIT

Lekha we can find number of characters using STRLEN( str ). but i want to do it automatically without any button action..

can it happen in webdynpro?
