in [MFC]

From: stringarray on 15 Oct 2008 17:47 This is happening on Vista. I created a new dialog based MFC project to test this. I added a CEdit control to my dialog. I called SetLimitText to let my CEdit receive 100000 characters. I tried both: this->m_cedit1.SetLimitText(100000); UpdateData(FALSE); and static_cast<CEdit*>(GetDlgItem(IDC_EDIT1))->LimitText(100000); I placed these calls on InitDialog. after I paste 6000 characters into my CEdit, it becomes empty and unresponsive. Any ideas as to what is causing this and workarounds to be able to paste long strings of text in a CEdit or any other control?
From: stringarray on 15 Oct 2008 18:50 This is me again. I should note this: The exact number is 5461 characters, I can paste 5460 without problems, and when i type one more character the CEdit becomes unresponsive. this number is 0x1555 in hexa, and 1010101010101 in binary, wich i find quite odd. This is happening on more than one machine. This is happening in XP also, tough I don't know the exact amount of characters in that case. This happens if we do not call SetLimitText at all. This happens if we use SendMessage and EM_SETLIMITTEXT instead of calling SetLimitText. There are no additional message handlers in the application, the only other controls are the default Ok Cancel buttons. In another application, this happened with 43680 characters, you could paste 43679, but the CEdit became unresponsive if you typed an additional character after that. 43680 is 0xAAA0 in hexa, or 1010101010100000 in binary, another odd number there.

No, it's not multiline, I would like to display everything in a single line. "Joseph M.
