 VB 6 and text box
what is the limit of characters that can ne put into a text box??
basically got a program that opens com port and displays, however after 24 hours it normally crashes think because it cant handle all data? is there a way of trapping this or any advice on the subject?
cheers

Re: VB 6 and text box
I always thought the Textbox couldn't handle more than 32kb of text. I would suggest a RichTextBox, as they can handle any amount of text, but just take a while to load large amounts of text.

it maybe in a 64 bit environment but, as far as MSDN says it is about 32...

Re: VB 6 and text box

Re: VB 6 and text box
it would probably make it easier if every hour or so, you appended a log file and saved the data from the textbox in it, then cleared the textbox.
