Copy Listview to Listview

[CaffeineRush]

I have two Listview controls on the stage:
lv_Files
lv_SelectedFiles

I have a function that copies the selected items from lv_Files to
lv_SelectedFiles.
I am currently using a loop on the selected indices to copy. This is quite a
slow process when there are a lot of entries selected in lv_Files.

There is also a Copy All button that first selects all indices, then loops
through lv_Files, individually copying to lv_SelectedFiles.

Is there a method to perform this copy without the loop? Some faster
implementation? I have not been able to find any documention or code
examples for such.

Hi there... try this

object[] dest = new object[listBox1.Items.Count];
listBox1.Items.CopyTo(dest, 0);
listBox2.Items.AddRange(dest);

I got the following to compile:

ListViewItem[] dest = new ListViewItem[lv_Files.Items.Count];
// object[] dest = new object[lv_Files.Items.Count];
lv_Files.Items.CopyTo(dest, 0);
lv_SelectedFiles.Items.AddRange(dest);

but get the following System.ArgumentException error in system.windows.forms.dll:

Additional information: Cannot add or insert the item 'filename.jpg' in more than one place. You must first remove it from its current location or clone it.

Any ideas? Thanks!

Hi,

I believe that "listBox2.Items.AddRange(...)" is key for
your performance goal.

And i think that loop (with "Clone()" of items) over your
"listBox1.SelectedItems" should be solution.

Cheers!
