more dcl/lisp help...

i want to add a beep to my dialog box when the character limit in the edit
box is reached... i was thinking if i could create a reactor to check the
(setq editbox1 (get_tile "editbox1")) since it returns the runtime value of
the tile in a string... (strlen "editbox1") and when it reaches say 8 it
beeps the pc... is this possible...

 

Checking the max is a function of the edit box in ObjectDCL which can be
found at www.objectdcl.com

can anything be done in dcl without objectDCL???

 

You would have to track the text length being entered, and I don't remember
dcl having that ability. It just works off of action_tile's, the following
from the docs explain the text box action_tile:

If edit1 is a text box, the action expression in the following action_tile
call is evaluated when the user exits the text box:
(action_tile "edit1" "(setq ns $value)")So you can see that the text value
and what you enter is not accessable until after you leave the text box and
not during edit.



Sorry,

Devin
