INFO: Multiline Edit Control Limits in Windows NT (89712)
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Platform Software Development Kit (SDK) 1.0
This article was previously published under Q89712 SUMMARY
The default maximum size for a multiline edit (MLE) control in both Windows
and Windows NT is 30,000 characters. The EM_LIMITTEXT message allows an
application to increase this value. Setting "cchmax" to 0 is a portable
method of increasing this limit to the maximum in both Windows and Windows
NT. When cchmax is set to 0, the maximum size for an MLE is 4GB-1 (4
gigabytes minus 1).
