net vs 6 - ListBox Test 1

[GremlinSA]

Test the speed that a listbox items are added..

The Original .NET code used the traditional VB6 methods, So I also added a second method that has the same output, however is about 80% faster...

Just a quick little something that i noticed...

The New API Listbox loading method for VB6 has a small flaw in it.. I dont have Access to a VB6 system at work so i cant look into it right now.. However here is a screen shot of the difference, Notice the background color of the listbox..

Left Normal method, Right API method..

I will look into that as soon as I can. It isn't much of a flaw, but more of the default settings. The listbox grabs the window background color and uses it.
