Hmm,
Well a Menu Ring is a U16 which means it has 65536 possibilties.
No serious limit there. The strings[] is an array of strings so
the size of the strings will determine the amount of space required.
I would say that the limiting factor here (unless you need more than 65k
choices)
would be memory.
A quick test :
create the strings "test0" to "test99"
read the "strings[]" and flatten to string, get string length.
this equals 994 in my t
est. The actual usage may be much higher.
I might suggest you try another method, especially if the number of items
exceeds say 20 or so.
