What's the limit on the number of items in TList?

hi

I'm using D7 and would like to know what the limit is on the number of elements a Tlist can have.

many thanks

Found this for Delphi 2

"MaxListSize is 134,217,727 (MaxInt div 16);"

So, I guess it'll be at least that, now. I'm currently at half a million items, so I've got a fair bit to go yet - will probably run out of memory first...

Hi
You can test it yourself:
var i,max:longint;
begin
max:=1000;// try with a larger number
for i:=1 to max do
Listbox1.items.add(IntToStr(i)+' -added');

In some components the number of the lines depends not of the exact number of the lines but depends of the total bytes stored in the control.

Good Luck !

Spent, TListBox is not the same as TList !

The source code for TList in D7 also specifies:

MaxListSize = Maxint div 16;
