I problem im running into a lot is users entering strings that are longer than defined in the sql tables.

for example if I have a .sch file like
TABLE_ (PAYMENT_METHOD)
	INT_	(PM_ID) PRIMARY_KEY UNIQUE AUTO_INCREMENT
	STRING_	(PM_DESCRIPTION, 30)
END_TABLE


and a user enters a description of 35 characters, then the sql insert fails with an errormessage that the value for PM_DESCRIPTION is too long.

I know I can use EditString::MaxLen(30) to limit the input, but that means entering the length of the field in 2 places.
So, can I do something like:

dialog.pm_description.MaxLen(sizeof(S_PAYMENT_METHOD::PM_DESCRIPTION));


dialog.pm_description being the EditString for editing the field
for editing PM_DESCRIPTION in the PAYMENT_METHOD table.

I know sizeof() won't work here, but what will?

Right now, it is unfortunately not possible, but it is reasonable request that could be relatively easily implemented - RM task added:

Being able to do something like this would be grand also:

S_PAYMENT_METHOD rec;
int n=rec.GetCount();
for (int i=0; i<n; i++)
{
	switch (rec[i].type)
	{
		case S_INT: DoSomethingWithAnInt(rec[i].Value, rec[i].MaxLength); break;
		case S_STRING: DoSomethingWithAnString(rec[i].Value, rec[i].MaxLength); break;
		................
	}
}

		................
	}
}



This is actually already possible; rec has GetRef method and Ref has GetType or even Is<> methods...

Would it be an idea to automatically set the maximum length of EditString controls used in combination with SqlCtrls?

Makes sense to me....

SqlCtrls are not quite bound to specific table....

(But generally, yes).

I think it would be awfully handy if those new functions were static.
