private void SetAllMaxLengths(ContainerControl pContainer)
{
    MicroFour.StrataFrame.UI.Windows.Forms.DevEx.TextEdit mBox = null;
    foreach (Control ctrl in pContainer.Controls)
    {
        mBox = ctrl as MicroFour.StrataFrame.UI.Windows.Forms.DevEx.TextEdit;
        if (mBox!=null)
        {
            mBox.Properties.MaxLength = ((BusinessLayer)mBox.BusinessObject).FieldLengths[mBox.BindingField];
        }
    }
}

I pass my form to the method.  It should iterate the controls and set the MaxLength property of each TextEdit control to the FieldLength of the bound field.  It is not doing that.  What am I doing wrong?

Thanks,

Thanks for the ideas, I will try to implement Paul's class for the textbox and see how it works.
