JohnOne Posted February 22, 2015 Posted February 22, 2015 My script needs to load data from external source to listview control, sometimes over 1000 items. I have a need to have more than one listview control loaded with data, so decided to add a couple of tabs. Without listview in tabitem, it loads within around 500ms, but when it is in tab item it takes 10x that and flickers like crazy. Anyone know of a workaround? Below is my reproducer code, test it without tab item, then uncomment Tab 1 to see problem. #include <ListViewConstants.au3> #include <GuiListView.au3> $sLVI = "one|two|three|four" $Gui = GUICreate("GUI", 600, 600, 100, 100) $button = GUICtrlCreateButton("go", 560, 20) GUICtrlCreateTab(0, 0, 500, 500) ;GUICtrlCreateTabItem("Tab 1") $hLV = GUICtrlCreateListView($sLVI, 0, 20, 500, 500) _GUICtrlListView_SetExtendedListViewStyle($hLV, BitOR($LVS_EX_GRIDLINES, $LVS_EX_DOUBLEBUFFER)) GUICtrlCreateTabItem("Tab 2") GUISetState() While 3 Switch GUIGetMsg() Case -3 Exit Case $button PopulateLV() EndSwitch WEnd Func PopulateLV() For $i = 0 To 300 GUICtrlCreateListViewItem($sLVI, $hLV) Next EndFunc ;==>PopulateLV Disabling the listview control has no effect, nor does hiding it.

kylomas Posted February 23, 2015 Posted February 23, 2015 Quote Not sure how the clicking tab is needed though. It has no bearing on flicker or speed on populating the listview. I thought it was part of what you were doing afterward. Forum Rules Procedure for posting code "I like pigs. Dogs look up to us. Cats look down on us.

Meaning AutoIt native function is LockWindowUpdate. AutoIt Absolute Beginners Require a serial Pause Script Video Tutorials by Morthawt ipify Monkey's are, like, natures humans.
