mfc dialog

[lch2]

Got an old Mfc dialog project that needs a lot of controls to be added to it. What is the limitation on number of controls if I do the work under vc2008. How can I bypass such limitation if there is one?.

AFAIK, there is a limit of 255 controls which can be added in a dialog template if the target system is Windows 95/98/Me.
I don't know if this limit is exceeded or not on NT platform (theoretically, that may be 65535).
For dynamically created controls, only God knows where the limit is.

Anyhow, everybody should know that a very large number of controls in a dialog means... bad design.
Just shoot the architect!
