For this one there's the MaxLength property.
TOMH, for the others, handling the KeyDown (or KeyPress) event is the way to go.
Disclaimer: Not really doing WinForms anymore - others are likely to give a better response........

>-Is there some way to make the characters show as uppercase, as we can do with an input mask? I can make it upper OK, but I'd like the user to see it transformed to upper the way we can with VFP. Again, I can probably do it in the keydown event, but is there a simpler way?
