EM_SETTEXTLIMIT
mp1 = MPFROMSHORT((SHORT) cchMax);    /* max. number of bytes   */
mp2 = 0L;                             /* not used, must be zero */
 
An application sends an EM_SETTEXTLIMIT message to set the maximum number of
bytes an entry-field control can contain.
 
Parameter  Description
────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
 
cchMax     Low word of mp1. Specifies the maximum number of bytes an entry
           field can hold.
 
Return Value
 
The return value is TRUE if the operation is successful or FALSE if there is
not enough memory to hold the requested number of characters.
 
Comments
 
Sending an EM_SETTEXTLIMIT message causes memory to be allocated from the
control heap for the specified maximum number of bytes. Failure to allocate
sufficient memory results in a WM_CONTROL message, with the EN_MEMERROR
notification code being sent to the owner window.
