Remarks
The text limit set by the ExLimitText message does not limit the amount of text that you can stream into a rich edit control using the StreamIn message with the pedst parameter set to SF_TEXT. However, it does limit the amount of text that you can stream into a rich edit control using the StreamIn message with the pedst parameter set set to SF_RTF.
