I found an easier way ;-) this will limit your textfield to 8 chars: $W->BeginDate->SendMessage(197, 8, 0); 197 stands for EM_SETLIMITTEXT. to know how many characters you've limited, use: $limit = $W->BeginDate->SendMessage(213, 0, 0); next build's Textfield package will have a Limit() method, eg.: $W->BeginDate->Limit(8); $limit = $W->BeginDate->Limit(); __END__ # Aldo Calpini print sort {$_{$a} cmp $_{$b}} values %{{split undef, "xritajbugne fahokem csuctawer jhdtlrnpqloevkshpr"}};
