Limit the Max Lengh of an Input box

[Matt-D]

Is it possible to limit the lengh of the text written in the inputbox ? (like at a text box Text1.MaxLengh = 5).

Note: For this programm I use VB 3.0, but I have 6.0 too. (new)

Thanx for some help, Matt
:P

On the KeyPress Event use:

If Len(Text1.Text) > 5 Then
   Text1.Text = Left(Text1.Text, 5)
   Text1.SelStart = 5
End If

Well an InputBox doesn't have a KeyPress event. It's not elegant, but what I do is to check the length of the reply, and tell the user to re-enter it. This can be done inside a Do loop that loops until Len(strYourUserResponse) < 5.
