Hi,

I am looking for a way to prevent the user to input more characters than are
allowed in the linked queryDataSet Column .
I am using JBuilder 2.0

For example
    "Name" may have a maximum of 6 characters

I set:
       jdbTextField.setAutoscrolls(false);
       jdbTextField.setColumns (6);

and in the queryDataSet:
      column1.setDisplayMask("aaaaaA")

Still I can enter as much as characters I want in the TextField.  Even
horizontal scrolling still does happen.

When I enter 10 characters, there is no error given and the first 6
characters are put in the variable (column).

Has someone a solution and an explanation why both setAutoscroll and
setColumn does not work?


thanks for the help

Walter
