edit box taking 1108 lines

[learningvisualc]

Hi all, I have made a edit control in my application, in that i have selected multiple line option. My problem is if i copy paste some data in that edit control it takes only 1108 lines or approx 28000 characters. Is there any kind of upper limit for edit box. Thanks in advance

Have a loo to the EM_SETLIMITTEXT Message (Windows)[^] on the MSDN Be aware that each line got 2 extra characters for CR-LF (i.e. "\r\n")

Here is a snippet from the documentation of EM_SETLIMITTEXT. Before EM_SETLIMITTEXT is called, the default limit for the amount of text a user can enter in an edit control is 32,767 characters.
