Android Question Question on IME.SetFilterLength

[jzfla01]

In the SUB Globals, I have this:

DIM IME as IME

In the Activity_Create module:

Activity.LoadLayout ("DBase")
IME.SetLengthFilter (txtDept, 2) 'Set Max Length for txtDept = 2
IME.SetLengthFilter (txtDept, 25) 'Set Max Length for txtDeptName = 25

DBASE is a Designer created page with a text box named txtDept and txtDeptName on it.
Both txtDept and txtDeptName are defined as INPUT TYPE = TEXT

When the application runs, I would expect that I could only enter up to 2 characters in the field txtDept, but on the screen, I can enter as many as I like to enter.

I am testing using the emulator.

Should the IME.SetLengthFilter be placed in a different area of code to allow the user to only enter two characters?

Thank you very much!

John

Something must have gotten goofed up with the layout. I opened the IME example and it worked there. I deleted the two EDITTEXT boxes in the layout designer and recreated them, now they work as expected.
