RE: For the ListView Pros.
Hi Derek,
Thanks for replying, Ok this looks like it is over my head I think my
customers will have to put up with slow loading. I haven't tried but do you
think E to C compliler would help.
Can you tell me how many items I can have in a list view. I didn't realize
it was limited.
Thanks
Tony Steward

You're correct. setIndex() does not work with ListView controls. We have to
create a new function to do this and I'm not sure how it will work yet. I
think we have to set the state of the item to LVIS_FOCUSED. I'll experiment
a bit and let you know what I find.

This is the built-in behavior of a ListView. The only way I can think of to
get around this is to create a "virtual" list view by using the
LVS_OWNERDATA flag when creating the list view. This means that you then
have to manage all the data storage and some of the visualization yourself.
Not a trival exercise, but it does allow you to manage unlimited amounts of
data in a view.
