ListView Resfresh

Is the anyway to stop the whole listview from refreshing everytime I add (or edit) an item? I need to listview to update very quickly, at the moment its pretty slow (due to refreshing every time??)

Is there an alternative to a list view that is faster? I have considered using a print method with some sort of sorting, but this is very messy. Any ideas?

Cheers

The best way to achieve what you want is to use LockWindowUpdate API.

Code:

---

Private Declare Function LockWindowUpdate Lib "user32" Alias "LockWindowUpdate" (ByVal hwndLock As Long) As Long

Public Sub Command1_Click()
    Dim xListItem As listItem
    Dim i As Integer
   
    With ListView1
        Call LockWindowUpdate(.Hwnd)
        For i = 1 To 50
            Set xListItem = .ListItems.Add(,,, "ListItem" & i)
        Next
        'Unlock Control
        Call LockWindowUpdate(0)
    End With
End Sub
