maxlength setting of a field in xamdatagrid
posted

I am novice in WPF. I am using Xam Datagrid which consists of several fields. I want to set MaxLength field for a below field. How do I set it? User should not be able to enter more than 25 characters. Thanks in advance.

<

igDP:Field Row="1" Column="0" ColumnSpan="12" Label="{rms:LocalizedResource Name=UserName}" Name="UserName">

 <igDP:Field.Settings>

 <igDP:FieldSettings AllowEdit="true" CellMaxWidth="18" LabelTextAlignment = "Left" CellContentAlignment ="LabelLeftOfValueStretch"/>

 

 

</igDP:Field.Settings>

 </igDP:Field>

    Hello,

    It sounds like you want to set some kind of constraint (length of the text) rather than length of the Field. If that is the case, you should create a style for the value editor - for example XamTextEditor and apply that style at the EditorStyle property of the Field. In this style, you should create a setter for the ValueConstraint property and set some constraints.

    It should look like this:

    <Style TargetType="igEditors:XamTextEditor" x:Key="Style">
                <Setter Property="ValueConstraint">
                    <Setter.Value>
                        <igEditors:ValueConstraint MaxLength="25"/>
                    </Setter.Value>
                </Setter>
            </Style>
