Objects
The IDM doesn't specify string length. If there are limitations, it's usually due to the toolkit.
but:
The length and cursor positions are limited to 2 GB
Theoretically, up to 65,000 items can be stored in a poptext.
Since poptext stores the content as a text object, this depends on how many object IDs are still available. Sometimes the toolkit limits the number.
These objects can each consist of 65,000 rows. The tablefield also consists of 65,000 columns.
However, limitations could arise beforehand due to the toolkit, which uses the required memory for fonts or images used on the objects (e.g. treeview).
Font sizes and image dimensions influence the number of possible nodes.
Motif:
only about 1000-2000 nodes are possible here.
