limiting combobox size

[edwardsmarkff]

hello – i am trying to “limit” the total number of characters to just three, but i cannot find a good option to do this.   i was able to get this working, but i am going to assume there is a MUCH better way!

also, what is the difference between a combo-box and a multi-combo-input?

Hi,

1. There is currently no property of the combobox which allows you to limit the number of characters.
2. For the difference between ComboBox & MultiComboInput. ComboBox allows you to display large data sets, has UI virtualization, multiple different selection modes, multiple different dropdown options like resize, multiple auto-complete options, etc. The MultiComboInput’s purpose is to display small collection of items in a dropdown and to display them as tags.

ok thanks – is this the best way to limit the number of characters in a combo-box?

window.onload = () => {
. . for ( let results in document.getElementById(“my-smart-combo-box”).getElementsByTagName(‘INPUT’) )
. . {
. . . . let tmp = document.getElementById(“my-smart-combo-box”).getElementsByTagName(‘INPUT’)[results] ;
. . . . if ( (typeof tmp == ‘object’) && tmp.getAttribute(‘class’) == ‘smart-input’)
. . . . {
. . . . . . . . tmp.setAttribute(‘maxlength’, ‘3’);
. . . . . . . . break;
. . . . }
. .  }
}

Hi,

Only as a temporary workaround such code could be used.

>>> “Only as a temporary workaround such code could be used.”

does this mean the option may become available?
