does anyone know the maximum size  of  text that will fit
in a tmemo component.

Roger

I came across this the other day, I think its around 32Kb, or some other
surprisingly small amount.
I used a third party Memo component called TPlusMemo to get round it.

A bit of a vague answer, but I hope it helps.

No limit under WinNT.

Good point.  If your software only runs on NT then you don't have a problem.
Obviously it depends on what type of application you are writing, and who it
will be distributed to.

I think TMemo is only a wrapper around the Win32 API memo object so
it's size is dependent on what platform your app is running on, Under
Win9x it's about 32k but under NT it's megs in size.

TMemo is wrapper around Windows multiline edit control.
And Windows multiline edit control has a maximum text limit of 65,535 bytes.
