GUI Control Limit

[d.healey]

Is there a limit to how many controls we can/should use on our interfaces?

[Christoph Hart]

There‘s no inbuilt hard limit (except for 2^32 because they are indexed with a 32bit integer but if you hit this, you will have other problems before that).

However it gets unpractical above 1500 - 2000 elements (laggy, long list to scroll, longer compile times).

Oh that's more than enough! I don't think I'll ever get close to it.

I've just checked - HEXERACT has 961 UI elements and is still OK performance-wise but I wouldn't do a complex interface like this again without C++

961! Huge work indeed!
