Limit to dialog controls in a QuickWin Dialog Box

[oscarh81]

I am using CVF Standard 6.1.A on Windows 98 SE. I am creating a dialog box with edit box controls and combo controls. It got to a point where I cannot insert any more controls. Is there a limit to the number of controls that can be used in a dialog box?

I'm not aware of any limits -- but even if there is one and you reached it, you should seriously consider redesigning your dialog. There's nothing more user unfriendly than a dialog with a zillion of controls. Try to divide it into several units, e.g. using tabbed dialogs.

There is a limit of about 250 child windows, and a control is a child window (or maybe two or three, depending on the control.) This is an architectural limit of Windows and not specific to QuickWin.

That's it. I have about 250 controls among combo boxes, edit boxes and static text.
