Virtual listbox (need to handle more than 32767 lines) How to get it to work ?

Hello All,

I'm trying to get a "Virtual Listbox" to work. I've currently got a form,
and used CreateWindowExA to create a ListBox with the LBS_OWNERDRAWFIXED and
LBS_NODATA flags on it. I've allso subclassed the window and do see all
kinds of WS_??? messages coming by.

But now I'm stuck :-\

I've got *no* idea what to do next, and all my searching on the web leads me
to examples that are, as far as I can see, incomplete in regard to using it
under classic VB (They're targetted at the .NET environment).

I have, to test if the whole actually worked, changed the ListBox back to a
normal one, and that went o.k (all items, added with a SendMAessage using
LB_ADDSTRING where shown).

So, can somebody please tell me how to continue ? :-)

Regards,
Rudy Wieser

I believe Bryan has a virtual listbox demo at www.mvps.org/vbvision/

<snip>

One of the first things I did when I moved from VB4 to VB5 was to
build a UserControl that fronts a small ListBox and a VScrollBar
(the VScrollBar needs 'scaling' to allow values above 32766)

I simply RaiseEvent for each line of data to display, and shove it in
the small Listbox
- it could be made a little more efficient
- but I and others have been using it for years

Maybe that's what I should do afterall ... Although the Virtual Listbox
seems to do about the same, it seems to require I handle all the displaying
of the actual data myself :-( It should have been nice if it would have
just asked me for the data, and would than display it.

Do you have any (pointer to an) example handy, preferrable in, the by you
mentioned, "classic" VB ?
