Here is my code snippet:

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,
Bill

Super!  Thanks for the info!!

In your arrangements you do the following:

DevEx Control (third-party control)
---AllAppsExtendedControl (base project in a development-wide, separate solution)
------AppSpecificExtendedControl (base project in a application-specific solution)

The only place you would then need to update references would be in the AllAppsExtendedControl solution.

Sprinkle in the appropriate namespaces and voilá!

Do I have that right?

I just want to say thanks for all of you guys support out here on the forum!  This is what makes this thing work and tick!!!  Great dialog out here!!!

Wow, yes, I was just whining to Charles about needing to remember to set maxlength manually (Visual Fox Express didn't require this because of the active data dictionary, DBCX) - can't wait to try this out.
