  void LimitText( int nChars = 0 );
 
  Parameter   Description
 
  <nChars>    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. This is the default behavior.
 
  Remarks
 
  Limits the length of the text that the user may enter into an edit
  control.
 
  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 by the
  ◄SetWindowText► member function in CWnd.
