MaxLength Property
Applies To: ButtonEdit Edit Spinner

Description

This property specifies the maximum number of characters that the user may enter in a single-line Edit object ( Style 'Single') or in the edit field associated with a Spinner. It does not apply to a multi-line Edit object (Style 'Multi'). MaxLength does not limit the length of the vector that you may assign to the Text property using ⎕WC or ⎕WS. However, if you overfill the field in this way, the user must delete excess characters before the object will accept further input.
