Hi all,

Yet another VB2005 question from moi! Hopefully this one will get answered though!

I have a datagridview on a usercontrol with a couple of combo boxes above it. The combo boxes determine what kind of records the datagridview gets populated with.

My datagridview is populate by class collections (e.g. "CompanyCollection").

I do not... however... set a datasource... - I do things unbound by having a procedure declared like the following:

    Private Function AddContactToGrid(ByVal oCompany As Company, ByVal EditSelectedGridItem As Boolean, ByVal bSelectWhenAdded As Boolean) As Boolean

in this procedure, 1 row gets added or edited on the grid, based on the passed in parameters.

My problem is, when the usercontrol is first shown to the user on a form, the datagridview can populate well in advance of a 1,000 records in under... 2 seconds???

However, if I then use the combo boxes to change the criteria of the records, (based on something with roughly 1,000 records again) it takes AGES!!! Well over 30 seconds.

Any ideas? I can't find a re-draw property, which is what I *think* it may be.

Cheers!
