Limit number of characters in a textbox

What is the best way to do this?

I tried:

Code:

---

if len(txtTextBox) > 10 then
    txtTextBox.Text = left(txtTextBox,10)
End If

---

But It places the cursor at the beginning of the text box, screwing up the text if the user continues to type and didn't notice...

Any ideas?

In the textbox properties you can set the MaxLength.

VB Code:

If Len(txtTextBox) > 10 Then
     txtTextBox.Text = Left(txtTextBox, 10)
     txtTextBox.SelStart = Len(txtTextBox)
End If

DOH!!

I forgot about MaxLength. :rolleyes:

Well crap...

I looked for that, but stupid me had the properties for the form, not the text box...DUH :rolleyes:

Thanks for setting me straight!!:D
