Is there a way to not just turn off the highlight but to disable it?

I need to loop doing some searching using the contents of a list as the search string. This causes the highlight to flash wildly as the various loops causes each item in the string to be "selected" a number of times.

Even if I turn off the highlight prior to starting the search it returns as soon as the first string in the list is used in the seach.

I want to be able to disable the highlight, run the search, then enable the highlight again.

Any ideas?

Edit: I know I could copy the list contents to another list that is never displayed and use it for the search but I was hoping not to have to.

Thanks for the tip Serge but I've already coded it using a copy since its a faster option.

Cheers.

If you are seeking through all items like that you really should copy the listbox to a nonvisual list as that will be MUCH faster. But you can also take a normal listbox and disable it, this will cause the control to become grayed out and no longer paint each seek and highlight. You can use the normal dialog disable command, or there is an API which lets you disable the listbox too.
