Efficiently populating a listview

[Zedna]

Incidentally, I notice that you cannot tell the version of Autoit2exe; it just says version 3. This is an omission isn't it?

If you compile your script then you can see AutoIt version from output EXE - fileversion properties.

So you can! Thanks Zedna.

I still think the Help in Autoit2exe should give the version number though.

Try using Scite4AutoIt3 and your AutoIt life will be much better

Are you running it with the entire GUI code that I originally posted??? As I said before, if you just try to extract the loop and put it into a simple GUI, it runs very fast. It is only when I run my full GUI code that it gets ridiculously slow.

This was my test code:

#include <GuiListView.au3>
#include <GUIConstants.au3>

$MyGui = GUICreate("GUI to test listview", 1016, 687, 2, 11)
$ClosedPaidList = GUICtrlCreateListView("Days |Case Name                           |Amount", 24, 334, 303, 325, BitOR($LVS_REPORT,$LVS_SINGLESEL))
$Button1=GUICtrlCreateButton("Populate",20,20,80,20)
GuiSetState()

While 1
    $nMsg = GUIGetMsg()
    Switch $nMsg
        Case $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE
            Exit
        Case $Button1
            Populate_MasterPaidList()
    EndSwitch
WEnd

Func Populate_MasterPaidList()
;~     GUISetCursor(15,1)
    Guisetstate(@SW_LOCK,$MyGui )
    
$a = TimerInit()    

    For $i=1 To 2000
        GUICtrlCreateListViewItem("|Johnson_Maleky|$1870",$ClosedPaidlist)
    Next

$b = TimerDiff($a)  
ConsoleWrite($B)

    Guisetstate(@SW_UNLOCK,$MyGui )
;~     GUISetCursor(2)
EndFunc

When it's slow only with your complicated code then use eliminating method to discover reason. Maybe code in GUIRegisterMsg & WM_Notify, try it yourself...
