                           int FTSOption)

Constructs a new CharLimitInfo object

Parameters:

max - Maximum field length. Specify zero to indicate no maximum.

menustyle - Value to indicate whether selecting from a menu appends or overwrites text already in the field.

qbe - Default query-by-example qualification type.

menu - Name of character menu to attach.

pattern - Field character pattern.

FTSOption - Value to indicate whether field is indexed for Full Text Search.

Method Detail

setMaxLength

public void setMaxLength(int max)

Sets the maximum field length

setMenuStyle

public void setMenuStyle(int menustyle)

Sets the menu style (append or overwrite with new menu selections). Use the following constants:

• Constants.AR_MENU_APPEND -- append/overwrite.
• Constants.AR_MENU_OVERWRITE -- New items dropped from menu

setQBEMatch

public void setQBEMatch(int qbe)

Sets operation to use from QBE type operation. Use the following constants:

• Constants.AR_QBE_MATCH_ANYWHERE -- LIKE "%value%"
• Constants.AR_QBE_MATCH_LEADING -- LIKE "value%"
• Constants.AR_QBE_MATCH_EQUAL -- = "value"

setCharMenu

public void setCharMenu(String menu)

Sets the name of the character menu attached to the field

setPattern

public void setPattern(String pattern)

Sets the field character pattern

setFullTextOption

public void setFullTextOption(int FTSOption)

Sets the Full Text Search option on the field. Use the following constants:

• Constants.AR_FULLTEXT_OPTIONS_NONE
• Constants.AR_FULLTEXT_OPTIONS_INDEXED

getMaxLength

public int getMaxLength()

Returns the maximum field length

getMenuStyle

Returns a string description of the object.

Overrides:

toString in class FieldLimit

Overrides:

hashCode in class FieldLimit

Returns:

returns the hash code for this instance

equals

public boolean equals(Object obj)

Use this method for checking equality between the current object and the provided one. The result is true only if the argument is not null, is of the same type and represents the same content.
