List control refresh issue
-
I am investigating an issue with some software at work and am looking for some suggestions. The software takes messages from a source outside of the application and will display them, one by one, to a list control. The list control is set to have a max size and will delete an entry before inserting one when it has reached its max. The problem is that occassionally, the messages are available at such a fast rate, that they are missed by the application. I have done some experimenting and have found that when a portion of the list control is covered by another window, the messages are no longer being missed. This leads me to believe this is an issue with involving time spent refreshing the control. Any input is appreciated. Thanks. -Andrew

Storing the messages internally and displaying them on demand via a virtual list control sounds like it might work for you. I thought there was an article on the subject here on CP; unfortunately i can't find it now. A Google search should find what you need though. And if words were wisdom, I'd be talking even more.
