As far as I know there is nothing in SF to automatically enforce the characters entered in a Textbox with respect of the field length value.

An error like this can be easily generated by the end user.

I know I can create a lot of broken rules to validate the field Length, but I strongly believe that this should be handle by the Business Object Mapper since it has all the information needed to add this kind of validation to the BO designer file.

Hi Alex,

I agreed with you and would also like to see this implemented/managed via the BOM in a near update.

Max length is already on the slate to be implemented at the control level.  The BO already has the field lengths so it is just a matter of implementing logic within controls such as the textbox, etc. to prevent field length issues.  This would obviosuly be a flag that would force the max length.  So this is already on the slate to be implemented.

Super, and thanks!

Guys,

My team did a class to control something like that (see attached file).

You only write something like that:

fixFormFieldsMaxLength(formname)

Enjoy it!

Hi

Just wondering if this does anything different to the facility that is there now as standard in StartaFrame ?

I am not sure what you mean by "facility".  But for quite a while now, we have already had a property on the TextBox called AutoAdjustMaxLength that when set, automatically adjusts the max length of the field.  Some of the comments in this post were prior to that property existing which is what I assume you were referring to.

Hi Trent.

Yes, by facility I was referring to the AutoAdjustMaxLength proerty... just could not remember the name of it. Thanks for clarifying
