Maximum length of treenode text?

Am I right that text presented in tree view can contain only 255
characters???
(both c++Builder, and Delphi).
How to increase it?

Many common controls suffer from this limit.  However, if you use the CustomDraw
service to render the text manually, you can surpass 255 characters.

Good luck!

I'm using CustomDraw for other purpose, but I can mix both tasks.
Problem:  horizontal scroll bar - there is no OnMeasureItem or something like this.
I need in some cases horizontal scroll bar much bigger (longer) - who to set it?
