Limiting the number of entries in a list control MFC

Question

Hi,

I need to limit the entries that appear in my list control since two much entries make my MFC program slow. Is there a way to show only the last few entries (say for an example the most recent 100 entries) in a list control???

Thank You!!!

Take a look at virtual list control:

Either you:

• don't add too many items (clear contents, only add the 100 you want in it)
• use virtual list mode like Alex says.
