Is there any way when using a generic text object or a form object to limit
the number of characters that can be typed?  I am writing an App that gets
input for a database in Sybase.  The fields are of a set length, for example
fourty characters.  I want to have the text/form object beep when the person
tries to type more than the maximum allowable number of characters.  Can this
be done with the generic text/form objects?  If I have to subclass, which
methods will I want to change?
