SBCS eliminate maximum length

Eliminate maximum length in SBCS fields (DBCS codepage only)

If not selected, then characters that exceed the maximum length of the SBCS field cannot be entered into the IME.

If selected, then
  • If the Enable automatic field advance setting in the Project settings editor on the Rendering tab in the Client Settings section is selected, then characters that exceed the maximum length of the SBCS field can be entered into the IME. Also, when the user selects the IME candidate for the field, the excess characters are cut and pasted into the next field.
  • If the Enable automatic field advance setting is not selected, then characters that exceed the length of the SBCS field can be entered into the IME. However, when the user selects the IME candidate for the field, the excess characters are removed and not entered into any other field.
This setting is supported for the following widgets:
  • Calendar
  • Field
