Hi all,

I am using the Edanmo Richedit control to display data as it arrives from a
server using this code:

With RichEdit1.Selection
      .Range.Font.ForeColor = colorIn
      .TypeText textIn
   End With

I have the MaxLength property set to 0.

My problem occurs when there are 65537 characters displayed. At that point,
the control refuses to accept any more text.

It was my understanding that when I set the property to 0, the number of
allowable characters would only be limited by the computer's resources
(memory, etc).

As a test, I set the MaxLength property to 5000, and when I reach 5001
characters, the control refuses to display any more characters.

Am I completely off base here in my understanding of the MaxLength property?

Also, assuming that the control is limited to 65537 characters (an
acceptable number to me), what would be the best way to delete the oldest
text to make room for new?

Thanks in advance!
