iOS Question B4i TextChanged event on TextField

[mtechteam]

I am attempting to limit the number of characters to input to 10 characters.

I am using the following code which works fine on B4a, but not B4i:

Public Sub txtOrgID_TextChanged(Old As String, New As String)
    If New.Length > 10 Then
        txtOrgID.Text = Old
    End If
End Sub

If I show in a log file the value of txtOrgID.Text, it has not changed yet and matches the Old value, and the New Value is shown on the phone regardless of whether the size exceed 10 characters or not.

Did you test it on a simulator or on a real device?

 

[mtechteam]

A real device

put a sleep(0) before you read the .Text Property

But without more code its hard to say, whether this is the error.

 

[mtechteam]

Perfect. Inserting the sleep(0) fixes the problem and resets the value back to the Old string

Great!
