Object Expected. Spelling mistake in your post... I did edit mine to tell you. It didn't seem to be working anyway, but then again neither did Volv's and that is working now. I think my PC is playing up and I have reset since I last posted.

yo.

code:

---

PlusWnd.SendControlMessage("controlID", 0x1009 /* LVM_DELETEALLITEMS */, 0, 0);

---

I would lean more towards using Mattike/roflmao456's method of using the LVM_DELETEALLITEMS message.

In my previous experience, doing a loop to remove each item is considerably slower and you can see the list getting cleared one by one.

Using the LVM_DELETEALLITEMS message clears the list altogether, and not only does that look nicer, but it probably uses less memory (considering only 1 line is called compared to the n lines used in a loop).

Just my two cents.

Yes indeed, the LVM_DELETEALLITEMS is the best, most efficient and fastest way you can get: it's the pure Win32 API! (and we all love that thing don't we?)

I suggest you to try fix my code (make use of that Debug::Trace function!) or try roflmao456's code. The reason why my function uses a call to SendMessage instead of using PlusWnd::SendControlMessage is so that I don't have to pass that whole PlusWnd object to the function, but roflmao's code will do just the same thing and may turn out even more interesting if you only want to use the list cleaning one or two times and you don't really need a separate function for it.
