    Question Answered: Setting max length on TextField

    Answered: Setting max length on TextField


    Is there really no way to set the max length on a text field? I know I can use a max length validator but that doesn't prevent the user from entering more characters than is "allowed."

    There was a setMaxLength(...) in 2.x on the TextField object. Why was it pulled in favor of a validator?

    There is a way to set max length on a textfield.it passes the test to me.
    like this:

    public class MyTextField extends TextField {

    public MyTextField(){
    InputElement ie=this.getInputEl().cast();
    ie.setMaxLength(10);
    }


    }
