Hey S.O!

I am trying to build my projects with a VirtualStringTree rather than a Listview, because of the vast speed difference. The thing is, even after looking thru the demo's, I just can't figure out exactly how I would use it as a ListView. Like, adding, deleting, and basically just working with ListView items is so easy, but when I look at the VT, it gets almost too complicated.

All I am looking for, is a VT that looks like a ListView, with subitems etc.

Here are some routines using the ListView, that I would like to use with VT (This is just a pseudo example:

procedure Add;
begin
  with ListView.Items.Add do
    Begin
      Caption := EditCaption.Text;
      SubItems.Add(EditSubItem.Text):
    End;

end;

Procedure ReadItem(I : Integer);
begin

   ShowMessage(ListView.Items[I].Caption);
   ShowMessage(ListView.Items[I].SubItems[0]);

end;

Of course, also the Delete function, but since thats like 1 line, I didnt bother :P

Could anyone maybe translate the above examples into using a ListView style VT?

Thanks!
