InkEdit.MaxLength property

Gets or sets a value indicating whether there is a maximum number of characters an InkEdit control can hold and, if so, specifies the maximum number of characters.

This property is read/write.

Syntax


HRESULT put_MaxLength(
  [in]          long lMaxLength
);

HRESULT get_MaxLength(
  [out, retval] long *plMaxLength
);

Property value

The maximum number of characters a user can enter in the InkEdit control.

Remarks

The default for the MaxLength property is 0, indicating no maximum other than that created by memory constraints on the user's system. Any number greater than 0 indicates the maximum number of characters.

Use the MaxLength property to limit the number of characters a user can enter in an InkEdit control.

If text that exceeds the MaxLength property setting is assigned to an InkEdit control from code, no error occurs; however, only the maximum number of characters is assigned to the Text property, and extra characters are truncated. Changing this property doesn't affect the current contents of an InkEdit control, but will affect any subsequent changes to the contents.
