[comp.windows.interviews] Really Large StringBrowsers

curt@meaddata.com (Curt Kohler) (04/18/91)

A while back, there was a posting to the mailing list requesting information
regarding any improvements to the StringBrowser class to allow it to have
more than 10,000 entries, (actually the problem is a hardcoded value in the
TextDisplay class) but I don't remember seeing any responses to it.  

Unfortunately I find that this may be a potential problem for a project
I am working on. Has anyone out there come up with a quick fix other
than changing the hardcoded value in TextDisplay.  

Even better than this, has anyone out there made a "StringBrowser" that
only needs to have a copy of a small portion of the total number of 
strings in the StringBrowser object. The StringBrowser would then be able 
to dynamically update this "working set" depending on the Perspective
manipulation of StringBrowser. (We may have some very large lists which
are stored in another object and are trying to reduce the duplication
of data/ memory requirements).

Thanks for any and all help,

Now back to our regularly scheduled programming :-)
