Allocates memory for storing ListBox items
#include <GuiComboBox.au3>
_GUICtrlComboBox_InitStorage ( $hWnd, $iNum, $iBytes )
$hWnd | Control ID/Handle to the control |
$iNum | Number of items to add |
$iBytes | The amount of memory to allocate for item strings, in bytes |
Success: | The total number of items for which memory has been pre-allocated. |
Failure: | $CB_ERRSPACE. |
Helps speed up the initialization of ComboBoxes that have a large number of items (over 100).
You can use estimates for the $iNum and $iBytes parameters.
If you overestimate, the extra memory is allocated.
If you underestimate, the normal allocation is used for items that exceed the requested amount.
