Property Value

Integer number of characters

Remarks

This is the number of characters that can be typed, not the number that can be displayed. If you enter text by setting the Text property for a cell, this property does not limit those characters, only what can be typed by a user when in edit mode.

Example

This example specifies how text can be displayed including the letter case, the length, and whether it can wrap to multiple lines.
