Efficiently populating a listview

mark2004 · December 28, 2006

I have a listview that I must populate with sometimes upwards of 2000 items. I am doing it with GUICtrlCreateListViewItem and

it takes a huge amount of time (maybe 10 seconds). The listview has 3 columns so I don't think I could just create a long delimited string and use that in the GUICtrlCreateListView command. Or maybe I could, I just don't know how.

If anyone knows of a way to speed this process up, I'd love to learn it!!!

Thanks.

I haven't tried this but it might be that the reason it takes a long time is that every time you add an item the listview gets redrawn. I've had this problem with text boxes.

To see if this is the reason you could try making it invisible, add the items, then make it visible again.

Also, make sure you haven't got LVS_SORTASCENDING or LVS_SORTDESCENDING set when you are adding items because this takes up a lot of time.

Well, the hide/show trick speeds it up considerably. Gets it down to maybe 4-5 seconds. I do have the $LVS_SORTASCENDING style set for this listview BUT I actually need the items to be sorted. Is there a way to turn off this style temporarily while I'm populating the listview and then turn it back on when I'm done so that it is only sorted once???

I'd love to get this down to less than a second but I don't know If I'm asking too much......

I just did a test and it took less than 1 second to add 2000 items, so it would be nice if you could

show a simple code that reproduces this. But I would suggest you to try using GUISetState with

@SW_LOCK.

@SW_LOCK = Lock the window to avoid repainting.
@SW_UNLOCK = Unlock windows to allow painting.

When you create the list view don't use the style setting, then...

GUICtrlSetStyle ( controlID, style [, exStyle] )

afterwards

I used ListView many times in my projects and instead of $LVS_SORTASCENDING style I prepared data into global $data[] array. This array can be sorted by _ArraySort().

I'm reading 17 different files, and from those files, adding 5000 items to a listview (with SHOWSELALWAYS and GRIDLINES). Takes 7 secs.

Sorry for the delayed response. I've been away from the computer...

I tried using all the suggestions and nothing seems to fix it.

Here is a watered down version of my code. The list is populated when you click on the "Paid Cases" Radio Button. This occurs in the "Populate_MasterPaidList" Function.

When I use the Hide/Show for the control, it speeds it up to 4-5 seconds. When I use the @SW_LOCK/@SW_UNLOCK for the GUI,

the control is not updated at all and nothing happens. I cannot use an array since it is a multi-column list (at least I haven't figured out how to make that work.....)

I'll take any and all suggestions!!!

nice work...

maybe replace this line

$Label13 = GUICtrlCreateLabel(_DateTimeFormat( _NowCalc(),1), 700, 20, 260, 27)

it will give you the day and date

... just one idea

*************************************

I noticed you have this

Guisetstate($MJTManager,@SW_LOCK)

per help it is GUISetState ( [flag [, winhandle]] )

so it should look like this

Guisetstate(@SW_LOCK, $MJTManager)

I think you might have forgotten to remove sorting while you add items. What is the effect ifyou do not have sorting?

@ mark2004
I think you might have forgotten to remove sorting while you add items. What is the effect ifyou do not have sorting?

I haven't noticed a significant effect from removing the sorting. But, having said that I have also been populating my listview

with dummy items that are all the same. So maybe the sorting is not coming into play yet.

I'm still a bit disappointed with the speed of things. The perplexing part is if I were to take my loop that creates the listview items

and put it into another simpler GUI code, such as the one below, the listview populates almost instantly even without adding all the tricks discussed so far in this post.....WHY??????

This thing has been killing me....I think I need a drink

#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,$LVS_SINGLESEL,$LVS_SHOWSELALWAYS))
$Button1=GUICtrlCreateButton("Populate",20,20,80,20)

If I test your script it takes 10 seconds.

If I do this instead

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

it takes 5 seconds. It's still not what you want but it's better. (I also had Guictrlsetstate($ClosedPaidlist,$GUI_HIDE both ways which saves about 2 seconds)

I tried that and it 8.6 seconds for me. Maybe it's XP- I'm surpised you get that speed if the only difference is you using WIn98 unles it's my CPU which is a Celeron 2.4 GHz and 512Mb Ram Edited December 31, 2006 by martin

Do you have latest version of AutoIt? In version 3.2.2.0 is done speed improvement (about 100% in some scripts)

Also check for some background processes in WinXP and their CPU consuming - maybe antivirus/firewall or something similar.

Do you have latest version of AutoIt? In version 3.2.2.0 is done speed improvement (about 100% in some scripts)
Also check for some background processes in WinXP and their CPU consuming - maybe antivirus/firewall or something similar.

I have tried with version 3.2.2.0 and beta 3.2.1.14 and there is no difference in speed for me. If I look at the Task Manager the System Idle Process is around 98,99%. When I run the script and click on Paid Cases it takes up 99% of the CPU time while its filling the listview so I don't know how you go so fast!

I have also tried compiling and running the exe rather than running from Scite but again no difference.

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

Efficiently populating a listview
