Is it just as slow when adding items to *any* TStringList, or only to a TFileListBox.Items array. If the latter, suspect that it is doing processing (e.g. disk scanning) at each change, and look at either your design or the object's source to see if you can bypass this step. cheers, peter =========================================== Peter Hyde, SPIS Ltd, Christchurch, New Zealand * TCompress/TCompLHA component sets for Delphi/Kylix/C++ * TurboNote+: http://TurboPress.com/tbnote.htm -- top-rated onscreen sticky notes * Web automation for online periodicals: http://TurboPress.com Find all the above and MORE at http://spis.co.nz --------------------------------------------------------------------------- New Zealand Delphi Users group - Delphi List - [EMAIL PROTECTED] Website: http://www.delphi.org.nz To UnSub, send email to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] with body of "unsubscribe delphi" Web Archive at: http://www.mail-archive.com/delphi%40delphi.org.nz/
