I'm sure such a limit exists for ActiveX. This limit is not internal to the object, but in the OLE interface.

When using COM objects they recommend using the BSTR data type to pass strings and then storing them inside the COM object as CComBSTR data members. I don't think there is a 255 limitation as the CComBSTR objects dynamically allocate space on the local heap when you assign the passed BSTR.
