wxTextCtrl::SetMaxLength(unsigned long len)

thanks for your SetMaxLength but it is still a failure on my part because i could not able to run my program if i uses that member...

Here is my idea on my program:

wxTextCtrl *txtctrl=new wxTextCtrl(this,-1,_T(""),wxPoint(140,25),wxSize(130,25));
txtctrl->SetMaxLength(unsigned long 5);

Everytime i compile this program on the terminal it always flag a message of
error:expected primary-expression before unsigned...
what is the primary function needed?
