[python-win32] Login dialog user ID restriction?

[Scorby, Gary]

We have been using the login dialog that comes with pywin32 for over a decade.  Works great.

We have a client who until recently required a 4 character max user ID.  Now they want an option for up to a 19 character user ID.  I told them no problem, that should work.  One of their user decided to go for it and set their password to 19 characters on their server, then tried to log in via the login box.  They claimed only 14 characters will fit in the User ID entry window.  Really?

So I ran some tests.  I held down the 'a' key for user ID and 'b' key for password.  Result:

('aaaaaaaaaaaaaa', 'bbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbb')

User ID - 14 characters
PW - 21 characters

Then I decided to go skinny and held the i key for both.  Result:

('iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii', 'iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii')

User ID - 42 characters
PW - 21 characters

I'm a data mover and very seldom work with dialogs.  The restriction appears to be entry window size based on character width.  I assumed if there was any kind of a restriction it would be x number of characters.  I've looked at how I send could parameters to alter this behavior but don't see anything.  Feel free to verbally abuse me if I'm missing the obvious, but can anyone tell me how to expand the number of characters I can send for a user ID?

Thank you

Gary
