I am running into a problem where the number of files that can opened in the dialog is limited to about 600. When selecting more than this number, the edit box at the bottom of the dialog becomes empty and no files are opened.
The files that need to be opened with the application come with relatively long names (70+ characters) and this is no doubt a factor, but that cannot be changed. The application needs to be able to open more than 5000 files.
The question is, where/how is the limit defined and can it be increased? If so, how?
From what I could find, this is not a problem that anyone else has reported for C++ Builder. I did find one post related to delphi with the same issue, but the suggested resolution (increasing the global variable OpenDialogMaxMultiSelFiles) did not work with C++ builder because I could not find any reference to it anywhere.
