Hi there,

could someone tell me why TextField's get a 10 number max length automatically when it's assigned a NUMERIC type to it? Even if I set it's max length to more then 10.

I know it doesn't happen in every cellphone model but I've already noticed it in Sony Ericsson W810. Is this an specification? What can I do to increase max length and keep with NUMERIC type textfield?

thanks to your attention.

I don't see how they can limit it to 10 characters. Most mobile phone numbers are longer (mine is 11, without international dialling).

Surely they would account for that?

What do you mean with "without international dialling"?

uk mobile numbers start 07, but from outside uk it's +447 - one extra digit.

Sorry friend, but I think you didn't understand... I'm talking about a TextField component inside a Form.
When you build a TextField like this:
the implementation should only accept numbers in the textField, and in most cases it does. But the third parameter in the constructor is the max length of the field and in some cellphones like I said above it just accept 10 numbers and nothing more. Even if I tell him to have a bigger max length.

I'm not trying to write a telephone number in this field, but an ID of my country, that has 11 to 14 numbers.

got it??

Yes, but my point is that it doesn't make sense that a mobile phone company would limit it to 10 characters when you consider that mobile phone numbers are more characters.

Ahh, never, mind. I don't know the solution, anyway.

Even palm os subjected to this problem...i feel its better to workaround manually to create Textfield in canvas..which gives a best result in term of look and feel...
