Crash - Set a large size "Subject" to event

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

   Hello,

I am facing a crash after an assert when i try to set a event subject with a long size (say 500 characters )

If i try to reproduce the issue in Calendar Sample, I am facing with the same 
problem.

However i want to set it to a limit of 50.
How to do that ??

See the following image when it crashed after the assert in sample

	btw - may be you use database backend and this is db exception on field size? You should use some app level handler to prevent such situation as core don't know about your app level restriction. This is why my sample with XML file-based db working without problem.

	Hello Mark, It is not a error on DB side. What i want to know is that, is there any way where i can restrict the user to set a event subject to 50 characters.????

	YES - in Release 13 - in term of visualisation in timeline mode user will have control on event pixel size (default 100) but db will store full string and you can see and edit it in event dialog. If you sure this is not db problem - means it already covered in release 13 and this is why I could not reproduce it. See on picture very long string in event properties dialog (> 1K)
