Hi friends,

I am building a XMPP chat application using C# Winforms.
I need a listbox which shows users avatar, and status icon and name..
Which control I can use to implement this ?
Also, How can I easily update the status without looping through the list when a presence status change ??

Thanks

You were on the right track. Using Treelist is definately the way to go. Read some articles on how to add images to the treelist etc.

You will have to iterate through the treelist to update statusses though. There is no other way. Or bind the treelist to an underlying datasource and iterate through that .. e.g Rows. Unless you have like 20.000 users in your chat application it will be fast enough.
