Is it possible to limit the amount of text that's typed into an TextInputDialog?

It's important that I be able to limit this.

I don't think so, but you can trim it after it has been submitted.
As far as I know, the only thing you can control (at least on android without physic keyboard) is input type to show different virtual keyboards.

Maybe I don't understand the question, but couldn't you have a counter that would increase by 1 with every button press, then, if it reached a certain limit, would just ignore anymore input?

@freessp that could work if textinputdialog had an event on "insert", but it seems to have only "complete"

Maybe a Candy component have it, but you need to check, I am guessing
