title: Maximum Length of String in Delphi property Lines of TMemo
body: <p>I've been searching the reason why the maximum length of String in a TMemo.Lines is 1024, but not found yet.</p>
  
  <p>I have a text file which contains delimited / csv data which length is around 2000 characters.
  I use a memo to preview it before I process the file.</p>
  
  <p>memo.Lines.LoadFromFile(textFile);</p>
  
  <p>I have set the WordWrap to FALSE, and scrollBar to ssHorizontal. So any record will not be wrapped to the next line.</p>
  
  <p>But when I iterate the memo.Lines, I found that the maximum String hold in each index is 1KB or 1024 characters. The rest is truncated to the next line.</p>
  
  <p>But if I use TStringList to load the file, the row is not truncated to the next index when it reaches more than 1024 characters. This is not happen when I use TRichEdit.</p>
  
  <ol>
  <li>Anyone can explain this phenomena? </li>
  <li>Is it the default behavior of TMemo? </li>
  </ol>
  
  <p>I use D2006 to try this.</p>
