I need to build an app that makes use of a lot of lists. I
would like to implement them as checked list boxes however
the ListView AddItem is too slow due to the large size of
my list. Has anyone got a suggestion? My lists can get
into the 300 item or so range. I have tried the Resco
controls but they are slow as well.

One thought of mine was to keep the list in a collection
and only draw the items as needed in response to scrolling
but I would like to finish this application before I die
if possible. It just seems to me that this type of
functionality might be commercially available from
somewhere.

Thanks

Happy Holidays!
 
The main obstacle in implementing this idea is that the
Scroll event is missing from the ListView in CF. Take a
look at the owner-drawn list here:

http://www.opennetcf.org/articles/ownerdrawnlist.asp

The control described in the article is now a part of SDF
and should be released soon.

It provides a lot more flexibility in implementing
a "buffered" load.
 
Thanks

Interesting how my ideas are rarely new. In any case I
built it yesterday out of a listview and a scroll bar and
it works ok for what I need but a spiffy fast version of
this would sure help alot. Anxiously awaiting it's
release..
