Dose the ListBox in MFC framework have limited item length? If so, what is the limit?
There is a limit. For an owner draw one it’s probably related to the limits of the GDI coordinate system.
However, long before you reach the ListBox limit, you reach the limit of good UI. Wide horizontally scrollable listboxes aren’t easy to use. If you have very wide data to expose, consider another UI abstraction, like a tree or multicolumn list, and consider what kind of data your user actually needs to see.
