Is it possible to increase the ExplorerBar's performance (draw time)?
posted

Hello!

 I am not sure if I should even be using this control for what I am trying to do, but hey, it looks really nice this way and I'd like to keep it. I have a bit of code that populates an ExplorerBar based on what the user clicks on a treeview.

There are 3 groups that I've created with the designer. Based on the file type, I am adding them to the appropriate group. The problem is, if I have more than say 10 items/files that I try to add to the bar, it takes it a good 5 seconds or so to add and update the view and in the meantime the user cannot do anything. (You can notice it sitting there "thinking" for a few seconds before it finally populates it and redraws it. 

 So I guess my question is, is there any way that I can speed up this process, or perhaps I am doing something wrong? Maybe I should be abandoning the explorerbar altogether and just going with a listview? 

 

TIA!

    10 items should not produce a noticable lag. My suspicion is that some other aspect of the population logic is causing the latency. If you have removed this from the equation and can reliably reproduce a latency of 5 seconds with only 10 items, you should report the issue as a bug and include the sample project with the bug report.
