Using VS2005, C++, .NET
I have a ListView with OwnerDraw=true, Details view, that I am using
to display messages in real-time. Ideally I want to scroll down to the
bottom, i.e. most recent message, each time one is added.
However the control flickers horribly, much worse than the RichTextBox
which I'm using elsewhere.
I've tried various techniques, double-buffering, filtering out
WM_ERASEBKGND, but none of them seem to work.
Any suggestions for a way to prevent flickering?
TIA,
KK

Did you try using ListView.BeginU pdate and EndUpdate? Put your item
addition and scrolling calls between these two. Not sure how it
behaves with OwnerDraw, though.

I haven't tried BeginUpdate and EndUpdate because all the postings
I've seen from other users say they don't work.

I have no idea what postings you might be referring to. Of course
these calls work, in some way at least. They might not have the
effect you want in your specific scenario but you won't know that
until you try them.

Take a look at ControlStyles.O paque, ControlStyles.D oubleBuffer,
ControlStyles.R esizeRedraw, etc.: http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/lib...es(VS.71).aspx
Opaque
If true, the control is drawn opaque and the background is not painted.
If I remember correctly, setting the Opaque flag is the most important
thing. Otherwise the control paints a solid background, which undermines
all your double buffering efforts (i.e. the control will fill a solid
rectangle before you paint your stuff, and that causes the most terrible
flicker).
Without seeing your code, this is the best I can recommend.

Hi
I am using Listview and inherited listview control overriding WndProc
& PreProcessMessage in ListView.
I need this to customize listview to display only the page the user
scrolls to. Since i am populating listview with more than 200,000
items. It is too slow and tried virtual listview. But that doesnot
allow me to add images in the listview. So now trying to list only the
page user scrolls to.

Hi
I did alot of research on this on the web and msdn and I couldn't find
anything.
I have a listview showing as a grid (table looking, with rows and columns
and no images at all, only text). I get the information to display on the
listview from the network and I add items often and stuff.
But more than adding items, what worries me is the step of modifying items.

Hi All
I used listview and tried to update it by using Addrange.
When the number of items is less, it works fine.. But I
need to update nearly 200,000 items and it hangs. Also i
need to add images to listview also(This is to list all
the items in my inbox, and want to give the user the feel
of outlook).
Since it hangs for even 1000 items in the inbox, i tried
to shift to virtual listview. But virtual listview

Hi,
I have a windows application that uses the listview to display about 50
items in detailed view - 4 columns. The first column is static and other
columns will be updated in 100-1000ms - it looks awful when it's running -
flickering too much!!!
Anyone know how to solve this flickering problem? or how should I deal with
this issue? I see some other C++ app can display more than 100 items without
any flickering in such as speed. Can...

Thanks Jay for your response.
I tried your code and it still flickering a lot. To demonstrate it, you can
grab a listview, create 3 columns - name, value, timestamp, in form_load
event to add 50 items into that listview as Item1 - Item49, add a timer to
your windows form, set the timer interval to 100 ms, in the event handler,
add the code to update the value and timestamp
Random r = new Random();
listView1.BeginUpdate();

Hello folks,
I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
This is as boiled down as I can make it.
