The TcxTextEditProperties object is a helper object that contains properties specific to the TcxTextEdit component. To obtain the TcxTextEditProperties object from scripts, use the TcxTextEditProperties.Properties property.

The MaxLength property lets you limit the length of text that can be inputted into the component. To prevent a user from modifying the component’s text, set the ReadOnly property to True.

The EchoMode property specifies the mode that the text is inputted into the component. If this property is set to “eemPassword” (which means that the inputted text should be masked), you can use the PasswordChar property to specify a custom mask character.
