TreeViewAdv label length

[Administrator]

Is there a way to limit the number of character the user may type for a label? I know that I can check the text length in the NodeEditorValidating handler, and give an error message if it is too long, but it would be even better if there is a property that would make the editor refuse to take more than a given number of characters.

Hi Kjetil, Please take a look at NodeEditorValidateString. I believe it is the event you''re looking for. Regards, Gregory Austin Syncfusion Inc.

Since this event is raised for each character entered, I am able to detect when the text gets to long. However, I can''t figure out how to stop the user from entering more characters. The event has two properties: Cancel and ContinueEditing. I have tried all combinations of these, but this doesn''t seem to have any effect. What am I missing here?

Hi Kjetil, Please take a look at this sample.I have implemented your requirement with the NodeEditorValidateString event and it would not allow more than 8 characters. I hope this sample will fulfill your request. Please let me know if you have any questions regarding this sample. Thanks Vijay EditorValidating_2484.zip

Hi Vijay.

This was what I tried which did not work for me. Maybe we are using different versions. I''m using version
3.2.1.0.

I belive you must be using another (newer?) version since when I tried to compile your sample the compiler complained that the following properties did not exist

treeNodeAdv13.LeftImagePadding = 0;
treeNodeAdv13.LeftStateImagePadding = 0;
treeNodeAdv13.RightImagePadding = 0;
treeNodeAdv13.RightStateImagePadding = 0;

After I removed all references to these, I could compile the sample, but then I could still enter more than 8 characters. Is there an other solution that may work for my version?

Hi Kjetil,
Yes, I am currently using our latest internal build – v3.3 which contains the necessary fixes here. If you wish to receive this build, please create a Direct-Trac incident in this regard and mention the link to this forum post. I will then update you with the download information for the same. We appreciate your cooperation on this matter.

Thanks
Vijay

Thanks for your help. However, I don''t think I will install the internal build. I am using many of Syncfusion products and can''t take the chance that this will break something else.
