How to accelerate ListView creation?

[MrSergey]

Hi,

Sorry for my english...

It's my code:

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

$GUI = GUICreate("Listview", 300,300)
$hListView = GuiCtrlCreateListView("1|2|3|4|5|6|7", 10, 10, 280, 290,-1, BitOR($LVS_EX_GRIDLINES,$LVS_EX_FULLROWSELECT ))

$x = 100

For $i = 0 to $x
    GUICtrlCreateListViewItem("1|2|3|4|5|6|7", $hListView)
Next

GUISetState()

While 1
    $msg = GUIGetMsg()
    If $msg = $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE Then
        Exit
    EndIf
    Sleep(10)
WEnd

If $x small then all work fast, but if $x > 1000 then the window is created too long.

In my program I need use $x = 50000. Time of window creation = 1 min. It's VERY long.

How I can accelerate process of window creation?

You could use the GuiListView UDF. Function _GUICtrlListView_AddArray adds items from an array to the control

See User Defined Functions -> GuiListView Management in the help file.

I've used version of this for listviews with > 100,000 rows. Note it may be missing includes for the current version of AutoIt.

Thanks!!! It's realy fast!!!

But how I can use the given code for my creation ListView?

Code very long and difficult. Probably exists UDF on ListView with use of the given code?

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

$GUI = GUICreate("Listview", 300,300)
$hListView = GuiCtrlCreateListView("1|2|3|4|5|6|7", 10, 10, 280, 290,-1, BitOR($LVS_EX_GRIDLINES,$LVS_EX_FULLROWSELECT ))

$x = 100000
_GUICtrlListView_BeginUpdate($hListView)
For $i = 0 to $x
    GUICtrlCreateListViewItem("1|2|3|4|5|6|7", $hListView)
Next
_GUICtrlListView_EndUpdate($hListView)
GUISetState()

While 1
    $msg = GUIGetMsg()
    If $msg = $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE Then
        Exit
    EndIf
    Sleep(10)
WEnd

added :

1. _GUICtrlListView_BeginUpdate($hListView)

2. _GUICtrlListView_EndUpdate($hListView)

Also look at my post about ListView UDF speed optimization

Now I randomly noticed there is _GUICtrlListView_AddArray() function which is based on the same optimization idea!!
