FireFly Controls

[Robert Dunn]

I'm wondering how many controls can be placed on a form at one time?    I was in the middle of a project when FireFly stated that I had reached the limit of controls that could be placed on the form.

I then deleted a bunch of the controls and switched to control arrays, only to end up with the same problem...

Hi Robert,

I just checked the source code. FireFly 2 has a limit of 200 controls per Form. Of course, that's an artificial limit that I could change via a simple equat(i.e.  %MAX_CONTROLS = 200). FireFly 3 does not have any limitation (only limited by system resources).

200 controls is a lot of controls on a Form. I just compiled a special version to increase the count to 400. You can downlaod the file from:

Hey thanks a lot, that's really impressive. I could never get over 250 controls on a form
With VB6.   I doubt however I will come close to needing 400 controls on the form but, having some reserve will be nice indeed.

Thanks,
  Robert
