Hi everybody,
Does somebody know how many items a combobox can handle? I have 700 articles which i select from a SQL query.
Thank you in advance

DON'T do that !!!!! Don't even think about it. :)
Frits,
Before you continue that question please
read this presentation on UIs
The right answers in on page 14. "For a Finitive and large domain, use autocomplete".
Cheers,

/agree with Ricardo...the load time of that combo box by itself it's a big no no, not to speak that it's completly unreadable/unusable in the user's point of view...
Needle in a hay stack comes to mind...
Best regards,

Hi Frits,
If you have any way of "grouping" these 700 in smaller groups you could use a
Cascading Dropdown
.
This helps you if you have two or more items with the exact same name but that belong to a different "groups", which with autocomplete might be difficult to distinguish.
Cheers,
