To show Characters remaining in text box
I am having a requirement where to show the number of remaining characters in a text box.
Suppose maximum size of text box is 100 characters, while typing each character it needs to show number of remaining characters.
(like: 98 characters remaining). How to do it in pega?

I have no clue on how to do this ony with OOTB controls.
You will probably need to create your own Text Input control with the correct JS event to refresh your counter.

In the skin, open the "Text inputs and formatted text".
Jusr check the first checkbox."Same formatting for Field, Error, Remaining Counter, and Read-Only Text".
Damien, this is a OOTB feature.

Hi,
From the skin you can open the rule and find out how you can display the reminder characters, ok.
Now I know this is a check box in the appearance tab for the text area control.
Ticking the box or not in the skin will not help making the counter appearing or not.

Hi,
I have a similar requirement too. Please let me know in case you get it done using OOTB Controls.
