    Question

    I'm creating a program that generates a config file for
    another program. I'm using the tab control and filling each
    tab with controls that are indicative of settings within the config file. For arguments sake, let's say i have 100 text controls which are settings that the user can directly enter, or 5000 boolean controls which set flags for some other program. I've reached a point where the form is
    complaining that are has too many controls on it. What is the best way to put endless controls on a form and not have it complain?

    thank you

    Thx Lafor,
    I originally didn't want to place all the controls on one form. But for the program I'm writng, there are different kinds of configs that can be generated, some having more or less settings. I planned to just have them visible if the
    user selected to generate one kind of config.

    I think I will split it up on different forms depending on
    what kind of setting it is

    thank you for your help
