Hello

I do not find a property MaxLength to limit the # of characters when editing a string value. Do I miss something?

Thanks for a hint

Hello,

I had the same problem in the MFC version of property-grid, but I don't know if my solution is suitable for the ActiveX version, too.
First I have created a new, CXTPPropertyGridItem-derived class and then I have overridden the OnSelect function as follows:

void MyGridItem::OnSelect()
{
    CXTPPropertyGridItem::OnSelect(); // call base class first
    if(GetInplaceEdit().GetSafeHwnd())
        GetInplaceEdit().SetLimitText(20); // limit number of input chars to 20
}

'SetLimitText' is a member of MFC CEdit-class.

Bye
   Holger

Hi farr02

Thanks a lot for your reply. I think this doesn't work for ActiveX. But Oleg told me, that MaxLength would be added in 10.4.

Thanks, Fabian
