any way to extend edit control's 30,000 limit?

[psasidisrcum]

I understand that the predefined multiline edit control in the Win32 API has a limit of 30,000 characters. I find this to be somewhat limiting, and am wondering if there's a way to extend this limit by any chance? What happens if one just ignores the limit?

Thanks!

Send EM_LIMITTEXT message to edit control.
