String Limit using XControl Using LabVIEW

[Prabhakant_Patil]

Overview

This XControl is useful for limiting the number of characters a user can type into a string control.

Description
This XControl uses code written in two sub-vis to limit the number of characters that can be entered into the control.  The number of characters can be changed at run-time through the "String Length" property.  This XControl also comes with three other properties: BG Color, Text Color, and Font. Included is an example of how the XControl may be used. 

Requirements

• LabVIEW 2012 (or compatible)

Steps to Implement or Execute Code

1. Choose a string length.
2. Run the VI and user only can type the certain length of number of characters.

Any suggestions ????

useful xcontrol !

Would be nice to remove forbidden characters in string (e.g \t\s\r\n)

These characters could be defined in "forbid chr's" array like "string length".
