[comp.sys.mac.programmer] Size of text field in RE 2.1

rpoldrac@s.psych.uiuc.edu (Russ Poldrack) (02/02/91)

Is there a fixed limit on the size of a static text DITL in ResEdit 2.1
When I am typing along it just stops at a certain point about 7 lines
down in the text box, na matter how big the field is set to be.

As far as I know, all Static text or non-static for that matter in a Dialogue,
is limited to 255 characters as it is referenced using a Pascal String (Str255).
