Description
Sets the text limit of a rich edit control. The text limit is the maximum amount of text, in characters, that the user can type into the edit control.
Remarks
The SetLimitText message limits only the text the user can enter. It does not affect 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 SetText message. If an application uses the SetText message to place more text into an edit control than is specified in the SetLimitText message, the user can edit the entire contents of the edit control.
