I am trying to set the maxlength property of a multiline textbox without much success. Could anyone tell me as to how it could be done ?
thanks,

This works for me: - TextBox1.Multiline = True
-
TextBox1.MaxLength = 10
But, if I enter 1, 2, 3, 4 on four lines, one character per line, then I cannot enter any more characters because the newline is included in the character count.
Or, did you mean that you wanted to set the maximum number of characters per line. You would have to do this manually in the TextChanged event with the split function.

I have a textbox with TextMode set to MultiLine. I also have the MaxLength
set to 255. This maxlength value seems to get ignored as the user can enter
unlimited characters. Does the multiline textbox not support maxlength?
How can I make the work?
TIA

Hi Everyone,
I have this TextBox with the TextMode="MultiLine". so now it does not
validate the text in the TextBox for the MaxLength
SO i have decided to execute a CustomValidator for this Textbox and run a
CLientSideFunction. now i was making this clientsidefunction generic so that
i can validate all the other textboxes also. Now to do this i need the
access to the MaxLength Property, which i am not able to read in the Java...

As we probably know, the MaxLength property of the TextBox control only
works when the TextMode property is SingleLine or Password. I want to limit
the number of characters a user can enter into a MultiLine TextBox to 250. I
figured the best way to do this would be with a RegularExpressionValidator.
For my ValidationExpression I figured I would use:
..{0,250}
However, the . does not include the \n character. On the page:

Hello folks,
I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
This is as boiled down as I can make it.
Here is my compilation command:
g++-12 -std=c++20 -Wnarrowing bit_field.cpp
Here is the code in...
