Limit Editor

Note: additional information on the subject contained here can be obtained from an instructional video clip  at the form.suite4.net web site.

The Limit Editor is a feature that lets you set the MaxLength property of multiple text boxes or the Maximum and Minimum properties of a NumericUpDown control from one convenient location. MaxLength, Minimum and Maximum are used to limit the number of characters or range of values a user can enter in a control and are very useful in constraining and/or validating end user keyboard input.

Use the Limit Editor as follows:

1. Select the text box you want to modify, and click on "Limit Editor" in the context menu. Alternatively you can simply right-click on the form itself.
   
2. The Limit Editor displays the current MaxLength value of all text boxes. Click in the green box next to the control you want to modify and edit the value.
   
3. Repeat step 2 for any other text boxes you want to modify.
4. Exit the Limit Editor by right-clicking on the form and selecting "Close Limit Editor" or "Close Limit Editor (Save)". Doing the former will discard your changes whereas the latter will save them.
