perhaps the following dirty trick will do:
just add a keylistener to the textfield
and keep track of the entry, keep the length of the string, take into
regard backspaces and
deletes and so.  the just use the setText method to change the text to the
first ten characters every time the user types in his 11th character

possibly things will look better if the textfield's paint method is
overriden so actually only the first ten characters are drawn. instead of
the 11th character that is deleted everytime

i have no idea how it looks but it moght work fine..

greetings
