An ownerdraw list box without the LBS_HASSTRINGS style can store 8160 
items. The reason for this odd number is described in detail in:
\vendors\microsoft\developer-network\win\13.zip on ftp.uu.net. Download 
index.zip for a complete list of the articles available.

You can use the owner draw technique for a list box up to 8160 items. 
The owner draw part can be very simple since all you need to do is 
TextOut the string you have stored. If you need more items then that 
you will need to implement a virtual list box. I am finishing up an 
article on how to do this. As soon as it is ready it will go up on 
ftp.uu.net as well.
