Limited number of controls on a dialog?
-
Hi all, Has any ever encountered this kind of problem when usin VC6: On the surface of the main dialog, tthere are 129 controls (CStatic's, CEdit's, CButton's). No other resource can be added on the dialog surface (neither by resource selecting and insertion, nor by copy-paste merthod) ? Thanks SkyWalker

the number of controls that can be added in design mode is limited to 255 due to the resource identifiers. if you want more, you will have to add your controls dynamically/programmatically.

[toxcct][VisualCalc]I can understand that, but why is it working if I manually add them in the
.rcfile (using Notepad for that) ? ( I did not have 255 identifiers yet :-( ) SkyWalker -

[toxcct][VisualCalc]Because the resource editor was not working any longer for some reason. The IDs were consecutive. SkyWalker

The limits sound like they are right (I forget what they are). I am suprised (if there is a bug) that you can add 129 controls, because the problem should have showed up at 128 controls. NEVER MIND THAT! It is working when you manually add them in the
.rcbecause the RC compiler is doing what it was designed to do. The RC editor (on the other hand) is apparently introducing false limitations. In any case that is a ridiculous number of controls. INTP Every thing is relative...
