?How is memory allocated and set aside for the Text property in a TextBox? From my research, a multi-line textbox can hold up to 2147483646 characters, based on the amount of user memory available. So, when the textbox is created, is memory allocated for the full amount of characters it can hold or is memory allocated and reallocated as characters are added?
If I was to set the MaxLength property to 20000, what will happen if I try to jam in more characters than the 20000 limit? Will the stuff at the top of the stack get popped out or am I going to have to do that myself? As one who cut his teeth in Macro Assembler, I am always looking for ways to trim the memory footprint of my software and since this project has 9 multi-line text boxes that get appended to every 256ms, this might be an area to look at.
