MaxLength of data in grid column

[Anthony]

I am defining the datagridtable style for a grid

....
Dim coursekeycol As New DataGridTextBoxColumn
coursekeycol.MappingName = COURSEKEYCOLNAME
coursekeycol.HeaderText = ""
coursekeycol.Width = COURSEKEYCOLWIDTH
....

I am wondering, how to I set the cells so that the user
can only put a maximum of x characters, like the maxlength
in a text box??

thanks,
A..

You can do this by setting the max length property of the data column in
the dataset. You will need to write code for though something like this:

DatasetInstance.Table.Column.MaxLength=x

Hope this helps,
