How many of the maximum control in a Dialog?

[dutch]

Dear All,

I would like to know the limitation of the maximum controls in one dialog.

Thanks&Regards,

Dear All,

I've found the limitation of the controls in one dialog is 255. If I have more than 255 controls one Dialog, how do I go?

Thanks&Regards,
Dutch

I suggest changing your design. 255 controls on one dialog is too complicated for most users (me too). I would break up the dialog into folders.

That limitation is only for Win16. Go for Win32.

Dear James,

The controls are created on the fly, depend on customer data

Dutch,

Windows 16 bits applications controls are limited to 255. You should port your app to 32 bits using FWH in order to use more controls.

I've got it.

Thanks for Enrico & Antonio,

Dutch,

Well it seems there is an exception to every rule. I have never seen a screen like yours before. I was envisioning 255 GETs, checkboxes, etc.

Congradulations on a unique idea, and I like the fact that you have used color and graphics to display lots of information on the screen at once.

I do wonder why they are not all in numeric order? Perhaps they are laid out according to the floor plan?

I'm afraid that your best solution is going to be 32bits as Enrico and Antionio already suggested. There are lots of other reasons for going to 32bits too.

Dear James,

Thanks for your compliment. I think about it as all of your recommendation.
