Hi Gerard,

The code is in the TextBox.vb class in the MicroFour StrataFrame UI project's source code.  Take a look at the AutoAdjustMaxLength property and the UpdateMaxLength() method.  You can copy that to the TextEdit class in the SF DevExpress Wrapper source, then recompile and all should be good.

Iseem to have this fully working now..many thanks for all contributions.

I did run into one little issue. When I amneded the SF Source Code for the Inherited textEdit, I 'noticed'  that there was not a MaxLength property. So. ok I wrote the code to 'Create' a new Maxlength property in the subclassed TexEdit control. Of course this made no difference when Iran the code . I then went back and noticed that ther was a Maxlength property already there , but it was in a 'Property' property. Just for lurkers may save a bit of time !!

Hi Gerard,
Thanks for the clarification.  So the property name in DevExpress is Property.MaxLentgh then.

Hi Edhy.

Yes. Most of properties are at the root (e.g. .Font  , .MaximumSize etc.)  but there are a good number then in a section called Properties , and one of these is MaxLength
