For WinChecking, im using a single line edit control with something like a 32k character limit, but the entry is still limited to 2047 chars mainly because of it's kind of use, which probably shouldnt be too long anyway. The only text that displays in the listview is that which is allowed to show when the header is dragged to a wider width. If the user wants to see 2047 characters, they have to click the 'get line' button (which might get changed to a double click in the future). In this way, the user can scroll the full 2047 characters. Im sure this could be extended depending on the needs of the application. So are you in fact using in-place editing then? Take care, Al
