I might have spelled that wrong.
it still accepts all those 250 columns.
but the last ones will not show as they become hidden...

to really show what I mean, try this:
code:
$form = createobject("kixtart.form")
$form.size=$form.screen.width,300
$form.left=0

$list= $form.listview(,2,2 ,$form.clientwidth-4,240)

for $=0 to 200
$list.columns.add($,200).
next

$form.show
while $form.visible $=execute($form.doevents) loop
exit 0
first not shown is at 164 on my test.
then changing the width of the column 162 will show the 164 and so one...

so quick calculation...
162,5x200=16250x2=32500

eh, is that what?
isn't that just the same as kixtarts limit on string length?
so, where is the memory limit on this one?
