Answer:
from 1 to 250, depending on the situation
- If 1, we will show read-only text, not as checkbox
- If list is short, will show as a list of items w/ checkboxes
- if list is long, need a special control (as I've described)

As an aside - I've always been surprised by how well large numbers of
check boxes test with users.
They have the advantage that (in web apps anyway) the user can quickly
scan all the entries. With a multiple column layout and clear styling
on selected items it can be very effective.
I wouldn't automatically discard a list of check boxes just because it
had a couple of hundred entries.
Cheers,
Adrian
