'Declaration
 
<C1CategoryAttribute("Behavior")>
<C1DescriptionAttribute("Gets or sets the maximum number of characters or bytes that the control can hold.")>
<DefaultValueAttribute()>
Public Shadows Property MaxLength As Integer

'Usage
 
Dim instance As C1TextBox
Dim value As Integer
 
instance.MaxLength = value
 
value = instance.MaxLength

[C1Category("Behavior")]
[C1Description("Gets or sets the maximum number of characters or bytes that the control can hold.")]
[DefaultValue()]
public new int MaxLength {get; set;}

[C1Category("Behavior")]
[C1Description("Gets or sets the maximum number of characters or bytes that the control can hold.")]
[DefaultValue()]
public:
new property int MaxLength {
   int get();
   void set (    int value);
}

Property Value

The number of characters or bytes (determined by the LengthAsByte property) that can be entered into the control.
The default is zero.

Exceptions

Exception	Description
System.ArgumentOutOfRangeException	If value is less than zero, an ArgumentOutOfRangeException is thrown.

Remarks

The MaxLength property allows you to limit the number of characters a user can enter in the control. The default value is 0, which does not limit the number of characters. Any number greater than 0 indicates the maximum number of characters. The C1.Win.C1Input.MaxLengthUnit effects the displayed result along with the MaxLength property.
