Indicates the maximum number of columns or rows of the matrix object.

Syntax

MatrixObject.MaxSize

Property Value

Read only. Long integer representing the maximum allowable number of columns or rows.

Remarks

Maximum allowed size of the matrix depends upon which edition of Matrix ActiveX Component is in use.

• Free Trial Edition lets you use matrices up to 6x6 in size.
• In Standard and Advanced edition, the maximum matrix size returned by MaxSize property is 2,147,483,647.

Note that although it is possible to create matrices of the MaxSize, there are performance issues to consider. A quick way to estimate the useable matrix size would be to:

• Estimate the available physical memory of the target machine.
• Divide this value by 30 for real matrices or by 60 for complex matrices.
• The resulting number represents the maximum number of matrix elements that should be used on the target machine.
