Hi.

When using the SetHelpString method of the HelpProvider control, do I
have any limit on the number of characters I can set?

Thanks,
Robert Scheer
 
Hi,

I'd rather say you are limited by the size of the pop-up window where the
supplied help string will be displayed. I believe it might be confusing to
the user when he is presented with a huge pop up with an overwhelming amount
of text to read.
