maxlength - see https://snippet.webix.com/1ye9gz2i

Formatting

That below needs PRO version

Other method is to use onKeyPress event and remove those chars manually:

Thanks for reply.
But I just don’t want it for number. I can use number, characters, speacial character excluding ', *, \, /

So use that below - you need to tune it to your needs:

You need to get code returned from webix function for each key and just prevent it.

In this snippet I implemented it but its not working for * . Maybe because I am pressing shift + *.

Thanks,

More compact version + with SHIFT
For SHIFT + * you need to block 8 key there - which is 56 in ASCII
Use to check: http://keycode.info/
Remember that you also have * [and others] on numpad keyboard.
These have other keyCode’s
