Setting the maxlength property of a multiline textbox

[gomzi]

hi,
I am trying to set the maxlength property of a multiline textbox without much success. Could anyone tell me as to how it could be done ?

thanks,
gomzi.

This works for me:

TextBox1.Multiline = True
TextBox1.MaxLength = 10

But, if I enter 1, 2, 3, 4 on four lines, one character per line, then I cannot enter any more characters because the newline is included in the character count.

Or, did you mean that you wanted to set the maximum number of characters per line. You would have to do this manually in the TextChanged event with the split function.
