  BOOL LimitText( int nMaxChars );
 
  Parameter   Description
 
  <nMaxChars> Specifies the length (in bytes) of the text that the user
              can enter. If this parameter is 0, the text length is set to
              65,535 bytes.
 
  Remarks
 
  Limits the length in bytes of the text that the user may enter into the
  edit control of a combo box.
 
  If the combo box does not have the style ◄CBS_AUTOHSCROLL►, setting the
  text limit to be larger than the size of the edit control will have no
  effect.
 
  LimitText only limits the text the user can enter. It has no effect on
  any text already in the edit control when the message is sent, nor does
  it affect the length of the text copied to the edit control when a
  string in the list box is selected.
 
  Return Value
 
  TRUE if successful. If called for a combo box with the style
  ◄CBS_DROPDOWNLIST► or for a combo box without an edit control, the
  return value is CB_ERR.
