Comment 5 Tod Creasey CLA 2002-08-09 10:18:02 EDT 
The IntegerFieldEditor has a fixed limit of 10 so as to prevent a huge amount 
of whitespace. Do you have a place where you think you need this?
Comment 6 Dirk Baeumer CLA 2002-08-09 12:46:40 EDT 
As far as I can remember the problem was that if the number you can enter is 
constraint (e.g. < 100) you ended up with an input field for 10 characters. 
This looks strange in the UI.
Comment 7 Tod Creasey CLA 2002-08-15 08:31:43 EDT 
The problem there is sizing as well then. If we limited it to the number of 
digits of the maximum value then in most cases it becomes very small.

I think however that this debate means there is no good answer so allowing the 
developer to configure this is a good idea.
Comment 8 Tod Creasey CLA 2002-08-15 09:15:58 EDT 
Added new constructor IntegerFieldEditor(String name, String labelText, 
Composite parent,int textLimit) allow for this.
