Maximum number of controls in a Form (VB)

[windows98]

I am trying to ascertain if VB Version 6.0 has increased the number of controls available in a Form as against Version 4.0 <p>Henry Drillich<br><a href=mailto:drillich@tpgi.com.au>drillich@tpgi.com.au</a><br><a href= > </a><br>

All I know is that in version 5, you could have a little over 240 controls on a form. I don't know about version 6.<br>

The question was explored earlier this month. Here's a summary.<br>
From Visual Basic Version 6.0 Frequently Asked Questions, &quot;Microsoft Visual Basic 6.0 will allow a total of 255 controls on a form.&quot;<br>
The validity of the statement is suspect since users claim to have added six to eight hundred controls to a single form.

Microsoft told me that if you make your controls into an array they only count as one. I tried it and it works.
