Hosts File Help!

[abnrange]

Trying to creata a simple app that will open a text file that hosts file entry that will load into input1. Once loaded you can add, delete etc... My attached project allows me to delete but, not manually type anything into the input object. Not sure why this is not working when it works in another project. Can someone explain to me what I did wrong? Thanks

I'm going to go out on a limb here and say it looks like you have too much text in your input object and it is not allowing you to add any more text.

So, the input object has a limited amount of text that can be edited? Good to know - Thanks

The max number of allowed characters could be something containing a 3... I can't remember at all XD But could it be 32000 characters? or 320000?

the default length is 30,000 chars, but you can change this to whatever you want, use "SendMessageA" with "EM_SETLIMITTEXT" and "EM_GETLIMITTEXT"

EG:

EM_GETLIMITTEXT = 213
EM_SETLIMITTEXT = 197

function Input.GetMaxLen(sObject)

	local tProps = Input.GetProperties(sObject);
	if tProps then
		local result = DLL.CallFunction("User32.dll", "SendMessageA", tProps.WindowHandle..","..EM_GETLIMITTEXT..",0,0", DLL_RETURN_TYPE_LONG, DLL_CALL_STDCALL);
		return result
	else
		return 0
	end
	
end

function Input.SetMaxLen(sObject, nLen)

	local tProps = Input.GetProperties(sObject);
	if tProps then
		DLL.CallFunction("User32.dll", "SendMessageA", tProps.WindowHandle..","..EM_SETLIMITTEXT..","..nLen..",0", DLL_RETURN_TYPE_LONG, DLL_CALL_STDCALL);
	end
	
end

Input.SetMaxLen("Input1",100000000)

Easy
