If I try to type text to one-line text field that already is full of
text, it beeps shortly. 
Q: How to keep it silent and define the function myself?

Counting typed chars to test if the field is full is not the way - some
chars take more space than others.
So, how to detect "lineOverflow"?

Any help appreciated....
