I have an edit box that requires a large amount of data to be entered, and it seems that I am hitting the size limit. Is there a way to increase the max amount of text that can be entered?

Below is a stripped down example:

Global Const $WM_CHAR = 0x0102
Global Const $EM_SETSEL = 0xB1
Global Const $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE = -3
Global Const $GUI_EVENT_MINIMIZE = -4
Global Const $GUI_EVENT_RESTORE = -5
Global Const $GUI_EVENT_MAXIMIZE = -6
Opt("GUIOnEventMode", 1)
$Form1 = GUICreate("Edit Control Test", 615, 450, 195, 124)
$Edit1 = GUICtrlCreateEdit("", 8, 8, 593, 193)
$hEdit1 = GUICtrlGetHandle(-1)
$hFunc1 = DllCallbackRegister('_EditHandler1', 'lresult', 'hwnd;uint;wparam;lparam')
$pFunc1 = DllCallbackGetPtr($hFunc1)
GUICtrlSetData(-1, "enter large amount of data here")
$Button1 = GUICtrlCreateButton("Start", 8, 416, 65, 25)
$Button2 = GUICtrlCreateButton("Copy to Clipboard", 80, 416, 95, 25)
$Edit2 = GUICtrlCreateEdit("", 8, 232, 593, 177)
$hEdit2 = GUICtrlGetHandle(-1)
$hFunc2 = DllCallbackRegister('_EditHandler2', 'lresult', 'hwnd;uint;wparam;lparam')
$pFunc2 = DllCallbackGetPtr($hFunc2)
$Label1 = GUICtrlCreateLabel("Output:", 8, 208, 39, 17)
$Progress1 = GUICtrlCreateProgress(183, 420, 425, 17)
GUISetState(@SW_SHOW)
While 1
    Sleep(100)
WEnd

Code example didn't generate the problem like I expected. Reworking it

BPCM,

Use GUICtrlSetLimit.
