I was thinking this might work:

for child in combo.GetChildren():
	if isinstance(child, wx.TextCtrl):
		text = child
		break

Until I realized that the ComboBox doesn't have any children.

> >> combo.GetChildren()
wxWindowList: []

So I subclassed the wx.ComboBox and made a runnable sample. Maybe this
will get you going in the right direction.

Subject: [wxpython-users] SetMaxLength for ComboBox

Hi all,
I want to limit the number of characters typed into the text field of a 
CB_DROPDOWN ComboBox.  I thought I had seen a way of getting the
TextCtrl 
so I can  apply SetMaxLength(), but can't find any references to it in
the 
archives.

TIA, Phil
