populate ListView using a thread

[remusrigo]

Hi all

I have a procedure that populates a ListView, but it does a lot of work and it takes too much time to display all it's items (about 100-200 items). I want to use a thread to display the items as it's extracting data (real-time).

I posted a question earlier here, but using a ListView it's not working for me...

Imports System.Threading
Imports System.ComponentModel

Public Class Form1
   Dim li As ListViewItem = lv.Items.Add("")

   Dim myThread As System.Threading.Thread = New Thread(AddressOf Me.AddItems)

   Public Delegate Sub ItemAdder(ByVal Input As String)
   Dim objItemAdder As ItemAdder

   Public Sub AddItemsDelgate(ByVal ItemToAdd As String)
      li = lv.Items.Add("")
      li.Text = ItemToAdd
   End Sub

   Private Sub Form1_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
      objItemAdder = New ItemAdder(AddressOf AddItemsDelgate)
      myThread.Start()
   End Sub

   Public Sub AddItems()
      Dim i As Int32
      Dim n As Double = 1
      Dim s As String = ""

      For i = 0 To 100
         s = n.ToString
         Me.Invoke(objItemAdder, New Object() {s})
         n *= 2
         Thread.Sleep(100)
      Next

   End Sub

End Class
