a question about textbox

[wasiq]

how can i check if the text entered in a textbox exceeds the limit of the textbox. What i actually mean is that when the multi line option is disabled, then the textbox scrolls horizontally if the limit exceeds. How can i check if this happened (i.e. the textbox scrolled horizontally)

Try this

    If TextWidth(Text1) >= Text1.Width - 60 Then
        MsgBox "I'm too long"
    End If

You might be better off setting the maxlength property to prevent too much text from being entered.

Either do it at design time or use this line.

textbox1.maxlength=60

but i dont want to limit the text, i just want to know if the limit exceeds. thanks MartinLiss, it works just fine.
