Hello Everyone.  I had a question I wanted to ask.  I have a script I wrote which makes copying udfs/scripts which contained in script blocks on the web (you know, kind of like this site) locally to my machine by copying/pasting the contents of the udf/script into a gui edit control.  However, I have noticed that, for udfs/scripts that are super long, I am unable to paste the entire snippet into the edit control: it gets cut off after a certain number of characters.  Is there a way to remove this limitation?  Thanks in advance.

My script: 

#Region ;**** Directives created by AutoIt3Wrapper_GUI ****

Here is an example with the function _GUICtrlEdit_SetLimitText, which @Melba23 has already mentioned : 

#include <GUIConstantsEx.au3>
#include <GuiEdit.au3>

_Example()

Func _Example()
    Local $idEdit, $sRead , $sFilename

    ; Example : Read GDIPlus.au3 and show the code in an Edit control :
    $sFilename = StringRegExpReplace(@AutoItExe, "(?i)AutoIt3.exe$", "") & "Include\GDIPlus.au3"
    $sRead     = FileRead($sFilename)

    GUICreate("Test : Huge Edit Control", 1200, 600)
    $idEdit = GUICtrlCreateEdit("", 2, 2, 1194, 568)

    ; Gets the current text limit for an edit control
    ConsoleWrite('1. _GUICtrlEdit_GetLimitText($idEdit) = ' & _GUICtrlEdit_GetLimitText($idEdit) & @CRLF)
    
    ; Sets a new text limit
    _GUICtrlEdit_SetLimitText($idEdit, 1500000)
    ConsoleWrite('2. _GUICtrlEdit_GetLimitText($idEdit) = ' & _GUICtrlEdit_GetLimitText($idEdit) & @CRLF)

    GUISetState(@SW_SHOW)

    _GUICtrlEdit_AppendText($idEdit, $sRead)

    ; Loop until the user exits.
    Do
    Until GUIGetMsg() = $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE
    GUIDelete()
EndFunc   ;==>_Example
