BCB6 and Vista(Bussiness Ed).

I'm displaying (part of) the captiontext right justified to the borderIcons
by inserting the required number of space chars to fill up the 'gap'.
This worked well up to WinXP.
WinVista however causes problems when the form exceeds a certain width,
e.g. maximized. It seems that the Caption textlength is limited
to 265 characters and all data thereafter is truncated.
Can someone confirm this and/or is there a way around?

Thanks in advance,
Wiebe
