BigDaddyO Posted March 17, 2006 Share Posted March 17, 2006 Hello, I am writing a little program for a local Food CoOp that will allow the users to select food from a list, but the list has around 21000 items in it. I have broken it down by departments, such as Frozen food, or Bulk, but it's still very large numbers. It only takes a split second to read all the data in from a 1.7MB Tab dilimited text file, but the REALLY time consuming part is the _GUICtrlListViewInsertItem. Code I'm using Func _OpenCatalog($CatalogFile) _FileReadToArray($CatalogFile, $i_Loaded) for $i = 1 to $i_Loaded[0] _GUICtrlListViewInsertItem($listITEMS, -1, StringReplace($i_Loaded[$i], @TAB, "|")) Next EndFunc The FileReadToArray is taking mabey 500ms. the loop that adds all the items into the listbox is taking about 5 minutes on a Fast computer. Any ideas how I can just DUMP all the items into the listview? Thanks, Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
randallc Posted March 18, 2006 Share Posted March 18, 2006 (edited) Hi, Even after the 5 minutes, you should only have about 4000 items; have you checked? [limitation of GUI controls in AutoIt is about 4000] That's why I have tried a GUI that only shows a page at a time; A. Look at my version of "AutoItEx.au3" which uses a text view, but no sorting[no extra requirements to AutoIt]; B. Or SQLGuiview which imports [ie bulk type speed] the total file initially, and has sort capability with speed [requires SQLite3.exe and SQL UDF]; Last and 3rd to last links in my signature; Let me know...
