ListView.RetrieveVirtualItem Event

Definition

Occurs when the ListView is in virtual mode and requires a ListViewItem.

public:
 event System::Windows::Forms::RetrieveVirtualItemEventHandler ^ RetrieveVirtualItem;
public event System.Windows.Forms.RetrieveVirtualItemEventHandler RetrieveVirtualItem;
public event System.Windows.Forms.RetrieveVirtualItemEventHandler? RetrieveVirtualItem;
member this.RetrieveVirtualItem : System.Windows.Forms.RetrieveVirtualItemEventHandler 
Public Custom Event RetrieveVirtualItem As RetrieveVirtualItemEventHandler 

Event Type

Exceptions

The Item property is not set to an item when the RetrieveVirtualItem event is handled.

Examples

The following code example demonstrates a handler for this event. In this example, listView1 needs each ListViewItem to display the square of its index. This code example is part of a larger example provided for the VirtualMode property.

//The basic VirtualMode function.  Dynamically returns a ListViewItem
//with the required properties; in this case, the square of the index.
void listView1_RetrieveVirtualItem(object sender, RetrieveVirtualItemEventArgs e)
{
    //Caching is not required but improves performance on large sets.
    //To leave out caching, don't connect the CacheVirtualItems event 
    //and make sure myCache is null.

    //check to see if the requested item is currently in the cache
    if (myCache != null && e.ItemIndex >= firstItem && e.ItemIndex < firstItem + myCache.Length)
    {
        //A cache hit, so get the ListViewItem from the cache instead of making a new one.
        e.Item = myCache[e.ItemIndex - firstItem];
    }
    else
    {
        //A cache miss, so create a new ListViewItem and pass it back.
        int x = e.ItemIndex * e.ItemIndex;
        e.Item = new ListViewItem(x.ToString());
    }
}
'The basic VirtualMode function.  Dynamically returns a ListViewItem
'with the required properties; in this case, the square of the index.
Private Sub listView1_RetrieveVirtualItem(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As RetrieveVirtualItemEventArgs) Handles listView1.RetrieveVirtualItem
    'Caching is not required but improves performance on large sets.
    'To leave out caching, don't connect the CacheVirtualItems event 
    'and make sure myCache is null.
    'check to see if the requested item is currently in the cache
    If Not (myCache Is Nothing) AndAlso e.ItemIndex >= firstItem AndAlso e.ItemIndex < firstItem + myCache.Length Then
        'A cache hit, so get the ListViewItem from the cache instead of making a new one.
        e.Item = myCache((e.ItemIndex - firstItem))
    Else
        'A cache miss, so create a new ListViewItem and pass it back.
        Dim x As Integer = e.ItemIndex * e.ItemIndex
        e.Item = New ListViewItem(x.ToString())
    End If


End Sub

Remarks

When a ListView object is in virtual mode, it creates ListViewItem objects dynamically instead of using the Items collection. This event is raised when the object must create a ListViewItem object. A handler for this event should create the appropriate ListViewItem or retrieve it from the cache, and pass it back by way of the Item property.
