StackPanel with huge amount of children


i'm building a wpf control based on the outlook calender sample in code project,

first of all i wanna know if this is a good sample or that this is not the way of writing controls?

second, i need to support milliseconds view of the calender, the meaning of that is more than 24 * 60 * 60 items

my question is how to build this panel(if it should still be a StackPanel) and how can i refill the panel when resolution (zoom) changes and avoid stucking the gui while i perform the fill.

to sum up : i need a fast way to insert many items to a StackPanel in wpf.


Solution

  • Perhaps you can use the VirtualizingStackPanel class. Remember you need to databind the items of the panel to make it virtual.
