listbox unabled to add items

Hi:

I have problem with the listbox component, when I try to add above to
32500 items, is this number the listbox's limit? How can I add more items
to it.

Please Help me.

You seem to be using Win95/98. This is the Win limit.
Needless to say that WinNT does not have this limit,
but that's about it.

Re:listbox unabled to add items

The best solution is a TListView in virtual mode. Not only
will this not limit the amount of lines you can use...but it
will also solve the speed issue I am sure you are noticing
when using TListBox with so many items.

This solution has been a miracle worker for us!!!

Let me know if I can help further,

potential workaround - keep the items in a stringlist (no effective limits at all) and populate the listbox with appropriate chunks from the stringlist when you need to
