Multiple selection limitation of 256 items in list box

I have a list box that contains more 800 items. In some cases the user will select all items but LISP only report 256. I have seen this topic has been posted earlier but there was no solution.

How do I work around the limitation of 256 items ($VALUE) in a list box?

Thanks in advance.

Place "> All <" button in dcl. When picked, copy input_lst to output_lst. Use output_lst in process.

There's no solution to the problem. That's one of many reasons
why DCL is considered largely obsolete and unsuitable for anything
but the simplest customization. You can buy ObjectDCL, or switch
to VBA or another environment.

That's the unfortunate reality.

klaudiussen,

You could purchase ObjectDCL from www.objectdcl.com . I use similarly large
lists and that's what I had to do myself. But after I purchased it I now
realize I couldn't do one quarter of what I do now if I was just using the
old built-in DCL.

HTH,

Devin

 

Imagine this, display "100 of 300" at a time, and have a button to grayed
[Previous]but display [Next 100] if applicable, and as mentioned an [All]
button.

Cutting corners...imagination does make all things possible...not limited or
obsolete.

Thanks to all of you for the clarification. Then I know there is no solution and I can stop pondering. (But, then I start ponder, shall I purchase ObjectDCL? Sigh!) Have a nice day.

Regards Freddy.

 

ObjectDCL is a powerful program. If you're going to be programming lisp for
a while I would definately consider it. It has made my life a lot easier.
