SUMMARY

The Text property for the Grid custom control can hold a string of up to 255 characters. If you assign a string longer than 255 characters to the grid Text property, the string is truncated.

This behavior is by design in Visual Basic. This behavior is similar to a text box control with the MultiLine property set to FALSE (0).

This information applies to Microsoft Professional Toolkit for Microsoft Visual Basic programming system version 1.0 for Windows.
