How do I add combobox items more quickly?

[tmighty2]

Hello!

I need to fill a combobox with 400 items.

I use

Me.cboTest.AddItem sSomeString

Adding a single item takes 1 ms.

So filling the combobox with 400 items takes 400 ms.

This is a drastic delay as the form that shows this combobox appears with a delay of 400 ms.

Is there perhaps an API call to populate a combobox more quickly?

Or can I prevent it from redrawing? I have tried .Enabled = false and .Locked = true, but that wouldn't change anything.

Thank you!
