TLISTBOX - Maximum number of items it can handle.

Can anyone tell me what's the maximum number of item a TlistBox can handle.

TString(TListBox.Items).Count  is an integer type.  An integer type is a
signed 32bit.

TListBox gives me error when I tried to  insert an item(stirng) when
Items.Count is greater than 3276.

tnx in advance.

IN Win95, I believe that a listbox can only hold 32K of data.  In NT,
entries are limited only by system memory.

Thank nick.

Is that limitation base on the operating system(Win95)?

Yes, it sure is.  Windows NT has no such limitation.
