Haxor!
There are plenty of tutorials on youtube about creating your own text editor/notepad. Things like limiting size would be limiting character count. Every character takes up the same space. Figure out how much space each one takes and limit it to that. I know I'm giving you alot of information but the fact of the matter is I don't feel like explaining something that's easily found on the net via search.

Each character takes up 1 byte, but honestly there are easier ways then that.
For instance you could use this to get you started:
This will return 56 since the file size is 56bytes.
For instance you could use this to get you started:
Imports System.IO
Public Class Form1
Private Sub Form1_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
Dim checkThisFile As New FileInfo("C:\Users\1UP\Documents\test.txt")
Dim getFilesize As Long = checkThisFile.Length
Me.Text = getFilesize.ToString
End Sub
End Class
This will return 56 since the file size is 56bytes.
