Yes and no. No specific limit, but Comboboxes use quite a lot of GDI
resources. Start your Resource meter (rsrcmtr.exe in Win directory or
Programs | Accessories | System Tools menu), and check what level you're
at on GDI (not 100% sure whether this, or System- or User resources is
the most crucial). To my experience, any value below 50% is potentially
hazardous. Delphi itself uses quite a bit of resources, so one may
easily be short on those when running from IDE.
Concider using other kinds of controls. I know there are Combobox
replacements out there made for Delphi that use almost no resources.
Check out Delphi Super pages or www.torry.ru for a start.
