Hi All.
For some reason, maybe I’m stroking out, as Grandpa Simpson would say, but I remember a command called:
Listbox.Lock
Where you could stop a listbox from refreshing until everything you want to fill it with, from a dictionary for example, was completely read.
Does it… Did it exist?
And if so how is it done now?
Regards
if you have a single column you can insert all in one call
AddAllRows items() As String
i would expect the ui update / main event loop continues after your method where you fill it.
how do you update your listbox? xojo version, project type, os?
The tricks I recall involve toggling visibility and/or the scrollbar.
Hiding the scrollbar results in a much greater speed improvement than toggling visibility in my experience, or at least hiding the scrollbar provides enough speed improvement that toggling visibility is unnecessary.
Those are all really good ideas that I would NEVER have thought of.
Thank you for the information. I will try and advise.
Regards
