Listview refresh

[Erwin van de Wiel]

I'm using two listviews to display the contents of two text files.
When the listviews are being filled (40 columns, about 1400 lines)
I use a dialog with a progressbar to show the current point of reading.

The problem is that when the listviews are being filled they don't refresh (grayed).
This doesn't look nice so I need a way to make the listview look smoother when being filled.
Dialog doevents didn't give any good result.

Problem is that the progress dialog is active when the listview is
being filled.

The usual technique for refreshing controls (with a lot of data) is to set the %WM_SETREDRAW state to FALSE while filling the control, then reset the state to TRUE when done. I've not tried this with a listview, but it should work ok.
