textinput.settings.length

getTextInput(id).settings.length( number ) (since beta 0.3)

Limits the maximum number of characters that can be entered in the input box. 0 or lower means no limit (default setting). Note that linebreaks count as characters in the limit (\n and \r).

Example:

[js highlight=”2″ try=”true”]newTextInput(“haiku”, “hatsu shigure\nsaru mo komino o\nhoshige nari”)
.settings.length(45)
.settings.lines(3)
.print()[/js]

Adds a 3-line input box limited to 45 characters to the screen, containing a haiku (note the \n to insert linebreaks in the text).
