[c#]Displays current character/character limit

03/10/2011 10:31 zhalyn#1
I have searched on google and youtube but still i can't understand how
to show the current character on the label :S

PHP Code:
        private void CharLimit()
        {
           if (textBox1.Text.Length >= 160)
               for (int i = 160; i < Text.Length; i--)
               {
                   label1.Text = Text.Length.ToString();
               }

        }




        private void label1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
            CharLimit();
            
        }

        private void textBox1_TextChanged(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
            CharLimit();
        }

Code:
label1.Text = Text.Length.ToString(); 
label1.Refresh();
A simple look through the methods associated to the label could have solved this issue.

Nice, but still the label1's text are not showing the right character counts :S

PHP Code:
 public void CharLimit()
        {
            if (textBox1.Text.Length >= 160)
                for (int i = 160; i >= 160; i--)
            {
                label3.Text = Text.Length.ToString();
                label3.Refresh();
            }
        }

        private void label3_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
            CharLimit();
        }

        private void textBox1_TextChanged(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
            CharLimit();
        } 
where if i type, character count counts down from 160 to 0 :S

Yeah because you have written it so that your loop starts at 160, and then counts down.

You dont know what you've written?

What do you want to do?

Never mind i found it
PHP Code:
  private void textBox1_TextChanged(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
            this.label3.Text = Convert.ToString(this.textBox1.TextLength) + " Characters Long";
            if (textBox1.Text.Length >= 160)
            {
                button1.Enabled = false;
                MessageBox.Show("Character Limit Reached to 160");
            }   
            else
            {
                button1.Enabled = true;
            } 
but it will display characters length :S any tip to make it a countdown?

You really need to learn to use google, read some basic C# Tutorials, and understand how to perform basic methods and how these can be utilised in order to perform many tasks with a small amount of modifications.

I dont really want to help write an 'SMS Bomber' to be honest, and from the looks of it, I would end up helping alot.

Ops, What i mean is i want to set count from 160 to 0 but
PHP Code:
 this.label3.Text = Convert.ToString(this.textBox1.TextLength) + " Characters Long"; 
it shows the count from 0 to 160 :S

        {
            if (checkBox1.Checked == true)
            {
                timer2.Start();
            } 
PHP Code:
      private void timer2_Tick(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
            if (Width >= 389)
            {
                timer2.Stop();
            }
            else
            {
                Width += 288;
            }
            if (checkBox1.Checked == false)
            {
                timer2.Start();
                if (Width >= 677)
                {
                    Width -= 288;
                }
            }

        }
