So you are asking if a richtext box will hold more lines than a listbox,
then the answer is probably. But there is another word for any application
that seriously lists 1000's of rows and then expects someone search or
peruse through such a list, whether in a treelist, listbox, or edit box.
That word is insanity.

Rethink what you are try to do.
