  • 0

When I set the column text for CListView more than 271 characters, the rest of my buffer is not present.

I set it through LV_COLUMN structure.

Is this a known issue for MFC 4.21?

    Here’s yet another answer you won’t like. It has nothing to do with your ancient version of MFC, it is a documented limitation for the list view control. From the SDK docs for the LVITEM structure’s pszText member:

    If the structure receives item
    attributes, pszText is a pointer to a
    buffer that receives the item text.
    Note that although the list-view control allows any length string to be
    stored as item text, only the first
    260 TCHARs are displayed.
