Out UI controls are version 4.0.20191.359 (as shown in winforms solution references).
The textbox in question has MaxLength set to 11.
We have a handler for the Validated event.
In the Validated event, we insert some extra formatting characters into the string before assigning the string into the textbox Value property.
The Value allows a string length greater than the MaxLength of the control.
Shouldn’t the textbox disallow that?

Hi Paul,
This is the designed behavior of the C1TextBox. The MaxLength property gets or sets the maximum number of characters the user can type or paste into the control. It does not restrict the number of characters assigned to the Text/Value property through code.
Although, we observed that the description of the MaxLength property is a bit confusing. We have escalated it to the development team for enhancement. We will let you know as soon as we have an update.

Hi Paul,
The description of the MaxLength property has been updated to “Gets or sets the maximum number of characters the user can type or paste into the textbox control” in the latest 2023v1(596) release. The latest packages are already available on NuGet and will be available for installation from ComponentOne Control Panel in a few days.
(https://www.nuget.org/packages/C1.Win.C1Input/4.8.20231.596)
Best Regards,
