How do I get around the MSVC++ Dialog Object Limit?

[Guest]

I am developing in MSVC++ .Net 2003, using MFC, building a realtime telemetry
display. I have reached an object limit of 255, but need to add another 20+
objects. Is there a simple way to increase this limit?

I am aware that I could possibly add more views or tabs, but that is not my
first choice for this display as I would like all items visable at the same
time.

Thanks,
SpaceDust

AFAIK, there is no easy way (no way at all, IME) to exceed this limit.
You'll need to look into interface redesign (a la what you mentioned not
being your first choice) to get around it.

Thanks for the info.
I also read that the limit does not apply when you create on the fly, so I
may try that first.
