I agree with some of the others that after a few hundred items you will want
to consider a virtual list control. They are very easy to set up, the data
can come from just about anywhere, and they are way quicker for displaying.
You can even have some of the data cached in a file or database or whatever
so long as it can be accessed when needed. That said, I don't think you'll
reach the limit. Before that happened no one would be willing to use your
application.

Hi,

I would like to know how many items can I insert into a CListCtrl.... ?
I am not using virtual list control.....
I am just using CListCtrl in a form view..........

I just want to keep on adding possibly millions of items at runtime and
save
them to a text file is user wants to...........

I don't want to load those many items..........

InsertItem() takes "int" as parameter index......so CListCtrl should
atleast
support
(???2,147,483,648 to 2,147,483,647) items..........

I just want to make sure I can add as many items as I want at run time...

Any pointers would be apprciated.

Thanks,
Gary
