I have an application that outputs large amounts of text data to an MFC tree control. When I call SetItemText() with a long string (larger then 1000+ char) only the first ~250 chars are displayed in the control.
Is there a MAX visible string length for a MFC tree control?
Is there any way to increase the visible limit?

The text from the pszText of the TVITEM structure[^] states:

Quote: TVITEM structure[^]
Note that although the tree-view control allows any length string to be stored as item text, only the first 260 characters are displayed.
