C / C++ / MFC

• Rick York pointed out an interesting idea in a previous thread today that applies to your case. Use WM_SETREDRAW to prevent redrawing while you fill the list:

  list.SendMessage(WM_SETREDRAW,(WPARAM)FALSE,0);
  while(...){
  ...
  }
  list.SendMessage(WM_SETREDRAW,(WPARAM)TRUE,0);

  
  
• Make sure the styles LVS_SORTASCENDING and LVS_SORTDESCENDING are note set for the list control, to prevent sorting in the middle of the population process. Later, you can sort the data (if this is your wish) with CListCtl::SortItems.

:\Windows\Desktop\DataStru\main.cpp(639) : error C2664: 'binarySearch' : cannot convert parameter 1 from 'class Stock *(void)' to 'class Stock *'        There is no context in which this conversion is possibleError executing cl.exe.main.obj - 1 error(s), 0 warning(s)  

The following is an example of this error:
