Increase string control size

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by 100

Hi all, I tried to create a new EDT and set the size to 200 but still form string control shows 29 characters. However, also tried only with form string control without any other display control but no success. In addition, also tried by changing display length and limit text properties but no effect.

Best Regards

    No int 64 field doesn’t has string size. It will be based on the string size of reference group field. Check whether you have updated string control to reference field.

    Thanks,

    yes it is int 64 but I want to display full text from this control. Is it possible?

    Reference form group control won't be string field. It will be int 64 field and you don't need to consider string size there.

    If it's a temp table, try adding the string size directly under table field properties instead of using EDT.

    Thanks,

    What happened if it is a reference form group control?

    Temp table is of type TempDB and it does not exist in AXDB. Should I use an extended Style property?

    No there is no restriction on string size when using temp table.

    Thanks,

    I am working with Tmp tables. It also does not matter?

    As mentioned above, have you checked the String Size of this field from Sql Server?

    No, it won't be. String control size does not depend on the form pattern.

    Thanks,
