CombineMaxFormattedLengths() public static method

Combines two values of the maximum allowed formatted string length.
public static CombineMaxFormattedLengths ( int length1, int length2 ) : int
length1 int First maximum formatted string length; negative value indicates infinite allowed length.
length2 int Second maximum formatted string length; negative value indicates infinite allowed length.
