Changing properties dynamicly

[Hans]

I have an ENTRY-FIELD where I want to change the MAX-LENGTH dynamicly.

I use this source code, but nothing happens.
The initial state of MAX-LENGTH is 8.

MODIFY NUMBER-EF, PROPERTY EFP-MAX-TEXT = "6".

Anyone encountered this problem ?
Regards

If you want to change the max-text of the entry field try this:

MODIFY NUMBER-EF, MAX-TEXT 6

[Hans]

When I write source like this :
MODIFY DATA-EF, MAX-TEXT 6

nothing changes. I still can enter more then 6 characters.
I also want to change properties like numeric, justification... and others.

What to do ?

Can you provide a small, but functional demo of your issue?

Gisle,

Some properties I can change, some others not.
Txs for you support

Some minor adjustments and it should work. Pls see attached file that allows you to change the MAX-TEXT property.
