Slow Multi Column Listbox Painting

[xkenneth86]

All,

I'm trying to use a multi column listbox to display test results. The test data has quite a few column, and I'd like to highlite any errors, problems or other interesting points with colored cells. The issue I'm having currently is that painting takes forever, and you can see it "tile" along as the SubVI runs. I've attacheda short video of the problem, is there a way I can defer updates of the control until the subvi changes the colors completes?

Regards,

Ken

Someday my dream will come true and this will be simple:

Until then you can use the Panel Property Defer Updates to significantly speed up the redrawing process.
