Feature request for NT 7.11
« on: June 02, 2013, 03:38:49 AM »
Hi Bruce!

Can you set loc:Prompt to String(1024) for NetWebForm? I have Cyrillic charset and string(256) not enough for some of my prompts.

NetTalk 7.26

done.
Although in the longer term the goal is to move most strings to be StringTheory objects which have no practical limit on length.
That's a process though - and something that will take more than a few releases to complete. I've started with the class methods, many of which no longer use length-limited strings internally. That will slowly then be applied to various procedures.

Cheers
Bruce

That would be very nice! I allways forget to make changes in template in next build :-)

Bruce I'm sorry, but right now I created a form and realize that loc:prompt string(2048) would be better.

2K for a prompt? It sounds to me like maybe you're using it for the wrong purpose - is this really a prompt for some entry field? Or are you using it to display information to the user? Perhaps a "Display" form-field might be more appropriate?

Cheers
Bruce
