I have set the MaxLength property of a textbox in a form
to 5 at design time. When I change the MaxLength back to 0
during run-time under some condition (for example, after clicking
a command button), I can still only enter at most 5 characters
into the textbox. So how can I reset the textbox to allow
unlimit text to be entered?

Well, it worked fine for me. Why not post your source code, so we can see
what the problem is.
Oh, by the way, when you click the command button, are you creating an all
new instance of the form ? If you are, it will begin life using its design
time setting ( 5 bytes).

Below is my source code for the Visual Basic form.
Well, when I run the program, I click the button and enter 5 for example.
Now I am limited to enter 5 characters into the textbox.
When I click the button and enter a value to 0, the Maxlength
property of the textbox is reset but I can still enter only 5 characters only.
Can anyone help me to solve this problem?
How can I reset the textbox so that I can enter unlimited text again?

Yes, I am sure it is exactly the same.
Have you tried to change MaxLength to 5 and then to 0
during the execution of the program?

Yes, it works fine
My guess is that you are actually entering something that is not
numeric
I strongly suggest that you avoid the use of IsNumeric() it has a
number of surprizing quirks
This is my another form that has the same problem.
This time the MaxLength of the textbox is set to 5 at design time.
When I run the program, I can only enter at most 5 characters which
is fine. When I click the command button, the MaxLength of the textbox
should have reset to zero. But after that I can still enter 5 characters
only. So can anyone please help me to clarify this?

This is such a simple thing
If it does not work, then there must be something wrong with your copy
of VB
The only thing that I can think is that it is some 'early' problem
that was fixed by a service pack
The fact that nobody has popped up to say that suggests that it is not
the case. This thread has been closed and replies have been disabled. Please start a new discussion. Similar topics | |

I've an application which is using a multiline textbox to log the status of a fairly long procedure. "Updates" are made to the

As my task is fairly lengthy, I go well past the default max text length of the textbox. According to the documentation, setting
MaxLength = 0 will increase this to basically the limit of available memory. So, in the form designer, I set the MaxLength property
equal to 0.

Hi All,
The one weird thing I noticed about VS2005 is that you can create a dataset via a table adapter and you can drag in the fields in design time to the form, yet the maxlength on the text field remains at the default 32767. Instead of sizing itself to the size of the datacolumn it was mapped to.
I don't know if this bugs anyone else, or perhaps I missed something and it does do this automatically but here's a helper function I created...
