Default Code to set text length in cell

I need to be able to control the text length in either a cell or in a group
of merged cells (i.e. E22:G24, but merged).

Data Validation doesn't return an error message until you hit the enter
button. I would like something to return an error message if, for example,
the maximum length is 20, then when the 21st character is hit, the message
box pops up.

Is this possible?
