+This function sets the maximum number of characters the user can enter into the
+control. In other words, it allows to limit the text value length to {\it len}
+not counting the terminating {\tt NUL} character.
+
+If {\it len} is $0$, the previously set max length limi, if any, is discarded
+and the user may enter as much text as the underlying native text control
+widget supports (typically at least 32Kb).
+
+If the user tries to enter more characters into the text control when it
+already is filled up to the maximal length, a 
+{\tt wxEVT\_COMMAND\_TEXT\_MAXLEN} event is sent to notify the program about it
+(giving it the possibility to show an explanatory message, for example) and the
+extra input is discarded.

+Note that this function may only be used with single line text controls.
