UI Lua API import (WAR 1.4.8)

New page

{{LuaApi|group=LogDisplay}}
Sets the maximum number of lines a LogDisplay keeps.

<pre>
LogDisplaySetEntryLimit(logDisplayName, entryLimit)
</pre>

== Arguments ==
;logDisplayName : <code>string</code> – Name of a LogDisplay window.
;entryLimit : <code>number</code> – New maximum number of lines, 0 to 16384. Fractions are dropped.

== Returns ==
Nothing.

== Details ==
* A value below 0 or above 16384 is replaced by 16384 (not by 0).
* If the display holds more lines than the new limit, the extra lines are removed from the display at once.
* The entry limits of the text logs shown in the display are not changed; use [[API:TextLogSetEntryLimit|TextLogSetEntryLimit]] for those.
* If the limit does not change, nothing happens.
* The function needs at least two arguments and only reads the last two.

== Errors ==
These are written to the UI log; the call returns normally.
* <code>Error in function call 'LogDisplaySetEntryLimit': Window %s does not exist</code>
* <code>Error in function call 'LogDisplaySetEntryLimit': Window %s is not a TextLogDisplay</code>

== Example ==
Applying the chat "scroll limit" setting to a chat tab, from <code>ea_chatwindow/source/chatwindow.lua</code>:
<pre>
-- scroll limit
LogDisplaySetEntryLimit( tabLogDisplayName, SystemData.Settings.Chat.scrollLimit )
</pre>

== See also ==
* [[API:TextLogSetEntryLimit|TextLogSetEntryLimit]]
* [[API:LogDisplayAddLog|LogDisplayAddLog]]
