Listbox headers limit?

Getting Started

Hi,
there is a maximum limit in listbox headers?
My app seems to crash (out of bound) when I put more than 65 headers in a listbox.

If there is this limitation, what is the solution? I have tables with a lot of headers.

It’s been reported several time. Last Feedback entry #21892 - ListBox Columm limitation

This is a big limitation. I think that this should be an implementation with high priority.
There is an alternative?

I think that xojo has big potentiality.
I purchased desktop license and I want create business with xojo, but I think that limitation like this should not exist to make xojo very competitive.

You could take a look at Einhugur Software - StyleGrid

Remark.
You can’t buy StyleGrid alone, you get all the plugins. (purchase $199, $45 renewal/year if you want to keep receiving updates)

I would deploy for windows, mac and linux, but at least for windows.

Hi all,

Maximum number of Columns in a ListBox:
read below Multi-Column ListBoxes

I do not find anything in WebListBox; I never use it so…

BTW: how your user can display more that 64 columns ?
How your user can read data in 64 columns ?
Do you know that these are 64 VISIBLES columns, but you can have more than 64 Columns…

Columns = Headers in this post; I only talk about the number of these.

Ah!!! A year later and still not fixed…show-stopper… back to the drawingboard for a workaround :-/

I saw this limit when I was writing a data conversion program for hospital systems. I had to use one of the purchased plugins to get around it but I can’t recall what it was. I will check that program and see what it was and post it here…

IIRC you can only have 64 columns
