| The Citect raw keyboard buffer is 32
characters in length. Citect also has a keyboard echo buffer that
is 64 characters in length. This buffer is used to echo the keys to
the screen. The buffer is larger as keys with tags require more
space to display. For example, the ⁢enter> key will take
1 character in the raw keyboard buffer while it will take 5
characters in the echo buffer to display the 'ENTER' string. When
the echo buffer overflows, the display will truncate to the 64
characters maximum but if there is space in the raw keyboard
buffer, the character will still be accepted. If the raw keyboard
buffer overflows, the keyboard input will ignored.
If you require longer keyboard input, use the Input() function
or the form functions to display a dialog to get the
input. |
