  1. I would've thought most Delphi devs knew how to do this... but maybe I'm wrong :)

  2. Just don't expect it to work well for thousands of lines. ListView is s..l..o..w..

  3. For thousands of items any control that is not using a virtual mode is slow (or at least consumes a ton of extra memory).

  5. Bill Meyer - Bitter experience.  I work with rather large numbers of rows...

  6. Andrea Raimondi Based on the view count of a StackOverflow question on this, my guess is that you are ... wrong? :)

    Being on StackOverflow I have learned that one's own level of knowledge is a very bad indicator of what others may or may not know.

    And, despite Delphi's ever falling market share, there are still developers joining the ranks of us "language seniors".

  7. Lars Fosdal I can imagine how that would be(come) a pain. Wondering: why have so many rows in the first place? Does anybody ever scroll past the first few pages? If they do: why? Could there be better ways to get the user the - limited - information (s)he wants?
