List View cell size limit?

Is there a limit to the number of characters a list view cell can display? It appears the limit is 255?

Thanks, but I need to know if there is an upper limit that the column display. I will try the sample code you provided with various length strings but I need to know if there is an explicit upper boundary of length a list view column can support. Thanks again.
Actually, there is a limit because the argument to LVM_SETCOLUMNWIDTH is a positive WORD.  Thus the limit is 32K pixels.  The number of characters depends on the font.
