    Resolved [RESOLVED] Thread used up its stack

    I am editing a very large file with my multilingual text editor, using a richtextbox,
    and I have noticed a slow-down in operations, and also got the error "Thread used
    up its stack".
    My theory is that the size of the textbox capacity needs to be increased . . . .
    has anyone ever had this problem before, and does that sound like a valid theory?

    Size of the rtf file I am editing is over 1.3 megabytes.

    1.3Mb doesn't come close to the character limit for an RTB though I would have to question the size of that document given that the average paperback translates to less than 500Kb as text. Can it not be broken down at all?

    Stack problems are not caused by what you put in the RTB but what you do with it in memory.

    What was your code doing when this error occurred ?
    Treeview with NodeAdded/NodesRemoved events | BlinkLabel control | Calculate Permutations | Object Enums | ComboBox with centered items | .Net Internals article(not mine) | Wizard Control | Understanding Multi-Threading | Simple file compression | Demon Arena

    Copy/move files using Windows Shell | I'm not wanted

    C++ programmers will dismiss you as a cretinous simpleton for your inability to keep track of pointers chained 6 levels deep and Java programmers will pillory you for buying into the evils of Microsoft. Meanwhile C# programmers will get paid just a little bit more than you for writing exactly the same code and VB6 programmers will continue to whitter on about "footprints". - FunkyDexter

    Thanks for the comments, they helped me narrow down the problem, it did not have anything to do with the size of the textbox, it had to do with what I was doing, pasting text in, and the debugger found that there was a problem with the formatting. Thanks . . .
