SUMMARY
=======

The Text property for the Grid custom control can hold a string of up to 255
characters. If you assign a string longer than 255 characters to the grid Text
property, the string is truncated.

This behavior is by design in Visual Basic. This behavior is similar to a text
box control with the MultiLine property set to FALSE (0).
