How can I restrict the amount of characters that a user can enter into a text box?

Gui, Add, Text,, You can type up to three letters here!

Thanks in advance for any help. (i already tried searching Sad )

One cannot type in a text control Smile

You need an Edit control:

Code:
Gui,Add,Edit, h20 w50 Limit3 vMyEdit
Gui,Show
Return
