help with list boxes

[BaneN]

is it possible to speed up how fast a list box scrolls when the user is pressing the down or up arrow, the speed is fine until the user reaches the end and the vertical scroll bar actually has to scroll down/up..

Any ideas?

This may appear extreme, but you will thank me one day (for other uses).

Use VB6, a DataList, and an ADO 'fabricated' (or 'disconnected' etc) recordset.

You define the fields (one for display, and others for related data).
This recordset is made out of thin air, and never has to be connected to a DB.

Then add records to the recordset (in lieu of lbo.additem).

Bind the recordset to the DataList, and it will scroll very fast.

If you desire you can store the recordset in a text file (somename.rst), and use it later in this or any other project.

If you require further assistance, then email me.
