;     QikPad is a functional text editor written around a normal edit
;     control. It has a size limit of 32k which is dictated by the
;     operating system for a control of this type.

Use this, hWnd is a handle of main window, which contain an Edit, IdCtl is an ID of Edit control.

Code Select Expand


invoke SendDlgItemMessage,hWnd,IdCtl,EM_LIMITTEXT,7FFFFFFEh,0


7FFFFFFEh - is a max size of text which can be entered. You can use any value.

This allow you enter about 2GB of text into Edit control under Windows NT. 64 KB limit is under Win9x.

Alex is right - I stand corrected.

EM_LIMITTEXT Message

Sets the text limit of an edit control. The text limit is the maximum amount of text, in TCHARs, that the user can type into the edit control. You can send this message to either an edit control or a rich edit control.
