Hello
I am wondering if there's a way to do this, notifying the user that he can't
enter any more text into NSTextField edit box?
Is there a way to change the color of the NSTextField's focus ring to red
(to highlight that this is an error)?
How difficult would that be to implement?
Thank you!
The correct way to notify a user that he can't enter text in a text box is to
disabled it.

Read carefully:
The original poster stated: any more text - or are you suggesting that he
should disable the text box when a certain number of characters are reached? I
guess not.
AFAIK, the focus ring is not accessible programmatically, except form setting
it by making something the first
I'm guessing you're wanting this for invalid characters as well as exceeded
number of characters? It sounds like an intriguing extension to the UI. It
might be easier to flash a red translucent overlay on the field contents
instead.

Adding to my own post I just found this in my snippets collection:
This listing shows how you draw such a focus ring. It requires you to override
the NSCell drawWithFrame:inView: In this method, if the cell is supposed to
draw evidence of first-responder status, set the rectangle for the focus

I think this sounds like a *terrible* idea. Not because it's a terrible idea,
but because introducing yet another subtle[-ish]
Another way is to make the cursor stop at the end of the limit, and if the
user keeps banging on the keyboard, show an alert message stating the
character limit on the field.
