String max out

Is it theoretically possible to max out the number of characters allowed in a string?? (I know you can in c++ but what about java?) if so can you please send me the link fo the api documentaion i would need to use?? and help will be gratiously accepted!!

What exactly do you mean? What do you mean by "allowed"? What should happen if a String with a greater length is created? When are the Strings created?

Code java:

---

 import static java.lang.System.out;
import javax.swing.*;
 
public class test{
 
	public static void main(String ad[]){
 
		String playerNamePrompt = "Enter Your Full Name as the player. \n";
		String player = JOptionPane.showInputDialog(playerNamePrompt);
		out.print(player);
 
	}
}

---

I want to make a max amount of characters that the String player can hold. so that when i use the code somewhere else if i draw the string player on the screen it is only 0 - 16 characters

Why don't you just check the length of the String, and then re-prompt the user if it's not in a valid range?

That makes since. but im trying to move away from reprompts (to many variables) but i guess there is a way to do it. TNX

You could also come up with your own window using a JTextField if you really wanted to limit the number of characters. There are a number of ways to accomplish this. I suggest googling something like "java JTextField max characters" to see some options.

ok thanks Kevin. (Ive been offline for a few days)

I have been looking at code and found a error that helped me edit a few things. 1 being the use of a jPanel instead of jFrame. That was 1 of my logical errors. using the jPanel instead of direct contact to the jframe gives me more control of the background color. and With that i can fix most of my errors. and even fix a few things. Including the making of a new Win() setup. Thanks all for the help. On finish of this message i will mark all my forums solved (because im done witht the project i was working on and have my answer for all the questions
