Check the MemoEdit Members documentation

EditValueChanged - Fires immediately after the edit value has been changed. (Inherited from BaseEdit)

EditValueChanging - Fires when the editor's value is about to be changed. (Inherited from BaseEdit)

void me_EditValueChanging(object sender, DevExpress.XtraEditors.Controls.ChangingEventArgs e)
{
   var memo = (sender as MemoEdit);
   var maxChars = memo.Properties.MaxLength;
   lblContactWithCharCount.Text = memo.Text.Length + "/" + maxChars;
}

Check the another solution for this: Add character counter to MemoExEdit control

Subscribe to the Popup Event of the MemoExEdit control, then inside that subscribe to the EditValueChanging Event.

Hope this help..
