The maxlength functionality does not apply to the custom modules fields. [#1175172]

I have installed the this module but it only works for the cck fields.
I want to apply its functionality to my custom field which I have created in my .module file.
So that the countdown remaining characters also display for my custom form field. And also limit it the characters in it.

Can you show your custom field implementation?

This would help to fix this bug

I have created my custom form field like the following.

$form=array()
$form['my_textarea'] = array(
'#type' => 'textarea',
'#title' => t('My field'),
);

Now how should I use the maxlength module for this field. So that it limit the characters and also display a countdown remaining characters for this field?
