Question

I’m having a issue with a textbox when it’s typed a huge string.

In my case, the textbox is used to write email addresses, and it doesn’t have a limit of chars. So, I’ve made this test: I wrote 200 email addresses in a notepad, and I pasted the text on the textbox and the text disappeared, but if I change the focus of the control, the text is displayed again. I already saw this link, but it doesn’t helped me. I already tried to change the MaxLength property to 0 (how the microsoft says to do), but it doesn’t worked here too.

Considering a email address with 50 chars, the MaxLength property wouldn’t be a problem, because 200 email addresses multiplying with 50 chars (each email), I’ll have 10000 chars, and the default value of TextBox.MaxLength is 32767.

And, before you ask for the code, I only set the text to a string.

myEmailObject.Address = txtEmail.Text;

Should I use RichText, or what?

Answer 1

Try to set the Multiline property to True and increase the height of the textbox
