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
Hi,
Check whether you have done the below steps.
Create and EDT - Set the string size to 200 - Map that EDT to table field - Restore the form - Build and synchronize the project.
Also, if the string size is 200 you can go with Notes EDT which will be having unlimited size.
Thanks,
Girish S.
Hi, You mention form string control still showing 29 characters. Is it standard form and bound or unbound field? If standard, then please let us know which form control. Try Building model and Full Database Sync.
Hi, string size is 100 and I would like to fix the length to 100. For example if string has 50 characters still I want occupy 100 characters space in the form. Moreover, I tried your solution but no success.
Hi, this field is define on a temp table so as Girish mentioned I created a new EDT, set the size and map the field to the table. Lastly, syn complete model with DB but same result.
How you are checking that control is allowing only certain characters. Can you show us the screenshot?
Open the SQL server management studio - Navigate to the table and see the string size for your field by expanding the columns node.
For example, if its string, it will be like FieldName(nvarchar(100)).
Can you check deleting and adding the same field in form as control? I am assuming here that the field in bound to a datasource and you have added the edt and mapped to table field.
Hi, I would like to mention that I am using wizard pattern.
Is it a problem?
No, it won't be. String control size does not depend on the form pattern.
As mentioned above, have you checked the String Size of this field from Sql Server?
I am working with Tmp tables. It also does not matter?
