Well, I believe is that what forlano requests may not be desirable (at least, such limiting editing is very annoying in practice).


In my opinion, it is very annoying the authoritarian approach of U++ to user tastes, when some worldwide used features are exluded...



Ok, ok... Puttin' to ToDo...

Sorry about that... Smile There's no rush. But I imagine how U++ users-programmers are frustrated when they waste time and they can't find what they had been used to...


To say the truth I found such option in many tools that are from far below U++ for power and widget richness. From other side the designer permits to limit the lenght of the string. I supposed that when this limit was reached no other imput was possibile... maybe some 'beep' is not bad to attract the attention of the user in this case. Instead now the user can continue to write and overcome the limit without problem. This is very annoying because when he realize the mistake he must delete the excedeed characters. To avoid the same experience he must keep his sight costantly on the screen to stop at the pink colour (... and delete one character). This way to proceed in my modest opinion is time consuming and not very friendly.
Thanks for the attention.
