TextBox MaxLength over 32767 has no effect

[Guest]

Hi,

How can I force TextBox to have more than 32767 in length. Max Length is not
respected over 32767.

I build a log window and need to display a lot of data.

Thanks,

Hugo

Sorry I don't have time to look it up but will recite some possible answers
based on vague memory.

(1) Max Length never affects what a program can put in a text box, it only
affects what a user can type into the text box. So if you're running into a
limit, the limit is coming from somewhere else.

(2) I think a rich edit box has a larger limit than an ordinary edit box.
If your text box is an edit box, try a rich edit box.
