I am subclassing CListBox to create my custom list view(multiline)
I learned that item height limit is 255. Is there a way to increase it ? I need to put very long sentences in it.

What I have tried:

SetItemHeight()

OnMeasureItem(MEASUREITEMSTRUCT lpMIS)
{
lpMIS->itemHeight = 400;
}

OP's comment suggests that it may not work, but I was unable to find any documented limit.

Me too, especially when the second parameter responsible for item height is type of uint (not byte).

Richard is right by pointing out to use SetItemHeight method. Take a look here: Increasing the Item’s Height in CListBox | VC Tips++[^]
