How to limit the input length for a text label

[LeeC]

Hi guys,

Does anybody know of a way to set the maximum number of characters that can be inputted into a HISE label (set to editable)?

I've searched the forum but can't seem to find anything on this.

I'd imagine that I could achieve it using a timer somehow, but hoped that there would be a more elegant way.

Please share if you have any ideas.

Cheers,

Lee

@LeeC If the label's callback is triggered when entering text you could check the string length and delete any additional characters the user tries to enter.

@d-healey I like your thinking.
I don't think that label callbacks are triggered when text is entered, which is why I was thinking about using a timer.

Also, have you got any thoughts on how to delete the the additional characters that exceed the MaxTextLength?

Callback is triggered when you hit enter (or you could trigger it manually, from a button for example).
