Before I must clarify : the goal of my intervention to this topic was for text files and memo fields limits.
Though Increasing EditBox capacity was main subject, your first question was not about that.
Now, your last problem is about this main subject
Fortunately our second master Dr. Claudio is a real genius
Now you need follow instructions of our doc at the beginning of topic; in summary :
Code: Select all
#define EM_LIMITTEXT 197
SendMessage (GetControlHandle("EditBox_1","Form_1"), EM_LIMITTEXT, 0, 0)
MSG_SETTEXT (GetControlHandle("EditBox_1","Form_1"), cHugeText)
cHugeText := MSG_GETTEXT (GetControlHandle("EditBox_1","Form_1"))
and add a "small" #pragma to your program
Or simply follow my slightly modified sample :

A small suggestion, puts MAXLENGTH to 0 in EditBox control which has the same effect.
Best regards,

...
This is a typical Windows logic : set maximum limit to overcome the limitation
... and worked
In this case, seems MSG_SETTEXT() function is unnecessary furthermore, is this correct ?
By the way can I make a suggestion :
renaming MSG_GETTEXT() and MSG_SETTEXT() functions as GetEditBoxValue() and SetEditBoxValue() be may more convenient ?
In other hand, hopefully you may find other ways ( such as changing internal size limits of HMG ) else you may add this low level ( #pragma ) routine to the core of HMG.
Anyway, immense thanks to your immense participation and invaluable improvement to HMG

In the next release, these functions are not necessary because they are part of the internal logic of the TextBox, just use Form.TextBox.Value

Hi Esgici, Dr. Soto, Rati, & all HMG Genious members
First i'm sorry not answering you since your saturdays post, but i've no internet at home so i must wait till today to see your powerfull posts.-
I've download your las MmoLmTst.-
First i've seen the code and a cold wind runs behind my neck "UNICODE", because i've lots of problems with it, specially on printing PDF reports.- That's the reason why i perform using 3.14 HMG IDE.-
Then i compile the prg and test and all works really FINE.-
I test very deep, also using DBF / DBT / NTX table format and index, and all was right.-
No ERRORS, No BUGGS.-
I'll implement this excellent routine on my developing.-
THANK YOU TOO MUCH for helping me to grow up on my knowledge of HMG language.-
With regards. Eduardo

Hola Eduardo
I'm glad by seeing you happy
Yes, you are rigth; all we are should a bit more work for Unicode; but I believe it's worth it
