Hello,

What is the maximum number of characters can a list box display?

Thanks.

According to thishttp://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/office97/html/output/F1/D2/S5A083.aspeach column can be 22 inches (although I now note thatit mentions MS Access)! So itwill depend on what font size you choose for your dialog boxes I guess...

If you look in DFLOGM.F90 you will find the following coded:

! all character strings should be this size
integer, parameter :: STRSZ = 256

and thisline at various locations:

character*(STRSZ), pointer, dimension(:) :: charvalue

including where list/combo box settings are being changed. So I guess the answer is 256 (for Visual Fortran dialog boxes, at least).
