Characters remaining?

[cgycowboy]

If I would like to limit the amount of text in an edit box to say....255 characters. What code would I use?

I have searched through help and found nothing..

Thanks in advance

#include <GUIConstants.au3>

#include <WindowsConstants.au3>

#include <EditConstants.au3>

#include <ButtonConstants.au3>

Opt("GUIOnEventMode", 1)

$Form1 = GUICreate("Issue", 615, 222, -1, -1)

GUISetOnEvent($GUI_EVENT_CLOSE, "CLOSEClicked")

$Label1 = GUICtrlCreateLabel("Please Describe The Customer's Issue For The Technician", 88, 0, 416, 24)

GUICtrlSetFont(-1, 12, 400, 0, "MS Sans Serif")

$Edit1 = GUICtrlCreateEdit("", 16, 32, 577, 113, BitOR($ES_AUTOVSCROLL,$ES_WANTRETURN,$WS_VSCROLL))

GUICtrlSetData(-1, "")

GUICtrlSetResizing(-1, $GUI_DOCKHCENTER)

$Button1 = GUICtrlCreateButton("OK", 240, 160, 105, 33, 0)

GUICtrlSetOnEvent(-1, "Button1Click")

Thanks for your help. I meant the included SCITE help

Lol, use the AutoIT help file then it might be more useful , the Scite help file won't list anything about AutoIT in it's helpfile as it has nothing to do with it (the Scite help file that is).
