Hi everyone,
I am designing an application wherein i have to add a lot of items in the combobox. But since the combobox takes only items upto 32736, what could be an alternative solution for it. Even Listbox takes items similar to ComboBox. I have to add more that 50-60 thousand items.
Please advice.
Bye,
Mahesh
There are 3rd party list box controls that can handle an unlimited number of items. I use ListPro.

Why do you need so many items in the COmbo box. When you are dealing with such significant amount of records - the database is the best choice.

There is another ComboBox that allows this. Add component Microsoft Forms 2.0 Object Library in Project Properties/Components. It has a second ComboBox. I used it to add 100,000 entries in a test environment. It was a little slow on my 1.2GIGaHertz machine though.
Using this combobox is a little different than the normal one.

John, maybe you can explain me why did you do it? If, of course, it was not strictly for the test.

Actually Iouri, I did do it just for the test to see if the Forms 2.0 was capable of greter that 32,xxx+ entries before I replied to his message.
I am with you in the fact that use of a DataBase would be more appropriate if that many records are involved.
