ListBox redraw

[Guest]

Hi.
In order to speed up adding items to a list box, I should prevent the list
box from being redrawn for each item added (I have approx. 1000 items). Is
there something equivalent to BeginUpdate()/End Update() in the compact
framework? Should I perhaps use the WM_SETREDRAW message? How do I do it?

Sincerely,
Gudni G. Sigurdsson

Hi,
try

listbox1.visible = false
fill
listbox1.visible = true

although 1000 items is a lot to load
