Hi All,

I have an input field.

The max number of characters for this input field is 10.

when a user enter more then 10 characters. it should prompt for an error or the input field should not allow to accpet the 11 character.

how we do this in VC.

need your helpful answers

Hi Srinu,

open the control properties of your input field and go to the display tab, there you can define the maximum numbers of characters.See the attached picture.

hi jaspreet,

open the input field properties dialog box,

select display tab, in that u can see Max len(pxls),

set this value to the desire value

Hi Srinu

You could achieve this by configuring error messages under the formula:-

Select the control properties and in the Input field at the Display tab write the formula

"IF((@<LEN(text)>10),'appropriate message','Records available')"

Note :- there is a LEN(text) under text functions in formula tab.
