You'll likely get better help by asking DevExpress support rather than asking a random C# programming forum.

Do you realistically expect a user to type in a 5000 character search string? That is about 4 type written pages.

You are trying to set the limit of your search box to have a maximum of 5000 characters. To visualize a user typing in 5000 characters, they would have to type in about 4 pages worth of text. Do you realistically expect a user to be typing that much text into a search box?

I don't use DevExpress components but I just took a look at the documentation and it appears that SearchControl inherits TextEdit and TextEdit.Properties is type RepositoryItemTextEdit and that type has a MaxLength property. I haven't tested but that looks as though you can set SearchControl.Properties.MaxLength.

I have to agree with @Skydiver though. If you were going to limit the number of characters that the user can enter, a number far smaller than 5000 seems the sensible option.

Thank you very much.

Devexpress.XtraEditors.Repository.RepositoryItemTextEdit edit = new Devexpress.XtraEditors.Repository.RepositoryItemTextEdit();
edit.MaxLength = 5000;
this.src.???? = edit;


How should i code the ????? part?

Again, I don't use DevExpress components so I can only go by what I read in the documentation - documentation that you can read too - and experience I've had with other WinForms controls. I wouldn't have thought that you would have to create a RepositoryItemTextEdit object yourself but, rather, get an existing one from the Properties property of your SearchControl and modify that. That's why that's what I said to do in my previous post. Assuming that that Properties property is initially null and you do have to create one, the obvious next step is to assign that object you created to the Properties property of your SearchControl.

No idea. I suggest that you consult the documentation. That's all I would be doing.

Our OP has fallen back to his old ways of trying to get others to do his thinking and research for him. It's sad because a few months ago he was getting better about doing most of the initial research himself and coming to a specific question.
