Hello,

I'm wanting to add 320,000 controls(Panels) to an instantiated Panel
object. Yes, you heard me right, 320,000. It's for displaying a
320,000 int buffer memory status. Long story. Anyway, the controls
Add() method is way to slow for this. AddRange() isn't any better.
Probably adding that many little Panels to the controls array for the
main Panel is problematic. Anybody got any better ideas?

TIA

Yeah I second that motion. It's ridiculous. I don't even know if an
average size screen has 320000 pixels on it... But if it does, you can
turn on and off every pixel, using a library function that I'm sure is
available...

1024x768 (that is rather small these days) would have, well, approx.
768,000 pixels already. <g>

But 320,000+ panels would bring the system down, no doubt. I doubt
Windows can handle so many windows. <g>
