Description

Specifies the maximum number of characters that users can enter for the item's value.

Use MaxLength to limit the number of characters that can be typed when assigning a value to the item. A value of 0 indicates that there is no application-defined limit on the length.

Note: Setting MaxLength will not truncate the existing value, it merely prevents the user from adding more text after reaching the limit of MaxLength characters.

Note: Even when MaxLength is 0, there may be limitations imposed by the operating system on the number of characters that may be entered.
