Any one has an idea whether the list box of html help index (.chm) takes 50,000 items. How many kb/items is it's limit ?

How many items(kb) can be safely loaded into vds listbox and vds lists ?

Regards

I don't think there is any fixed number but I'm sure it isn't very many on 16-bit systems like Win95/98/Me, probably something like 16K items max. Even under NT it is going to be slow loading a very big list and it will eventually fall over as was discussed a few weeks back in the thread about loading big lists. You need to find a way to break them down into smaller sets, I think.

Thanks Jules. I have divided the API constants into alphabetical files.
