SWT.VIRTUAL and Lists [message #1038296]

I have a ListViewer that can potentially have 100k elements at runtime.

There are some performance issues when the data set gets this large, and while doing some reading I noticed that SWT Tables and Trees can be virtualized but there is no mention of Lists.

Is it possible to use the SWT.VIRTUAL style with a List?

Have you consulted the documentation of org.eclipse.swt.widgets.List
before?

IMO the spec is clear, that SWT.VIRTUAL is not supported. In addition to
that we find (which is non-conclusive alone, but strengthens my previous
assertion) the following specified for class SWT:

/**
* Style constant to allow virtual data (value is 1<<28).
* <p><b>Used By:</b><ul>
* <li><code>Table</code></li>
* <li><code>Tree</code></li>
* </ul></p>
*
* @since 3.0
*/
public static final int VIRTUAL = 1 << 28;

I recommend to replace your List by an SWT TableViewer with SWT.VIRTUAL
flag. It is quite easy to make Table look like a list by simply using a
one-column table without column headers.
