  • There are some suggestions here. Unfortunately, there is a limit on it which can't be exceeded.

    1) You could try sub items to wrap the text. The item limit is 259 characters, so break the objects into multiple items.

    2) the only possible solution is to use your own or a third-party component which mimics a ListView but is not derived from it.
