Limit string length / Input mask

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

I need to limit the length of a string item but  pItem->GetInplaceEdit().SetLimitText(...) does not work, the CEdit is not yet created in OnInitDialog or OnShowWindow.

How can I limit the string length?

I also need to limit the maximum number of digits of an integer item.

I've also tried to set a mask for a double item but that doesn't work.
"A" and "0" does not allow the decimal separator ("," or ".") to be entered and if I set the mask to "&" and then enter "1,5" I get an (KERNEL32.DLL): 0xE06D7363: Microsoft C++ Exception.

Also I don't want the prompt character ("_") to be displayed and the mask to be drawn in a gray shade. I also would like the mask to be displayed always and not only when the item is selected.

Is:

Should be:
