Does anyone know if there is a way to limit the amount of text a user can input into an editable listview item? I'm using the following to start editing the item. I would like to limit the string length to about 32 characters but I can't find anything anywhere about doing that. -=-=- Check out my excellent homepage!

I don't know .NET, so I don't how you'd implement this. But presumably you can add an event that will run after a character has been entered? You could have an event defined that will just get the string stored, check if it's longer then 32, and set a shorter string back if it is. That's how I'd do it in Java. |

Doesn't seem to be possible in a simple way. The easy solution would be to cut off excess characters when the user has finished typing.

msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.windows.forms.listview.afterlabeledit%28VS.100%29.aspx Something like this could work (untested): |edit| Oops, sorry -- didn't realize you were using VB.NET. You'll have to convert the code yourself, or write something equivalent. |edit| |
