number of controls on a form

[deyzel]

Is there a maximum number of controls that you can place on a form?

I have a form with 80 comboboxes and I get a Win32API error "unable to read combobox4->items.Strings".

If I delete a number of them the problem goes away.

Thanks

I couldn't find an exact number. I suppose that there can be a limit. It's also possible that the amount of resources (RAM, virtual memory, etc.) could play a part, too.

Windows 95 has maximum windows within it equal to 32767(8)
other windows, i think, has more then 32K windows!
I know somebody did applications that contains more then 128 controls of one type and they worked properly.

Happy programming!))
