           Summary: edit control bug - EM_LIMITTEXT does not work
           Product: Wine
           Version: 20030115
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: other
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: major
          Priority: P2
         Component: wine-gui
        AssignedTo: wine-bugs at winehq.com
        ReportedBy: felipewd at elipse.com.br


When you try to limit the maximum chars accepted in an edit control by doing
something like this:

SendMessage(hwndEdit, EM_LIMITTEXT, 10, 0);

Wine simply ignores it, and let the user type more than 10 (in this example)
characters.

This looks bad, because the user could eventually overflow the allocated memory
for the dialog, making the program crash.
