I have to limit the number of lines and characters per line in an UltraFormattedTextEditor. For example: maximum 4 lines and maximum 20 characters per line.
The number of lines is not that difficult, I'm counting the number of crlf's in the keypress event.
But I also want a maximum number of characters per line. I'm having difficulty with this one because I don't know where the user is typing. How can this be done? It's no big deal in itself to check how many characters there are on a line but I would like to prevent the user from entering the character if he tends to exceed the maximum on the line he is typing.
Is there a workaround possible? Or perhaps an other control?
Can I get the cursor position?
Hello Erik,
After extensive research, limiting the number of characters per line while limiting the number of lines has been determined to be a new feature request as reproducing this behavior would require re-writing a significant portion of the Editor’s code.
