How can I quickly remove duplicates from a list box?
I wish to remove duplicate items from a large TListBox. To do that I use a classic simple method. It wo开发者_如何学Gorks, but it takes 19 minutes. I read a lot and apparently I should use a TFileStream (?). But I don't know how.
My classic method is this:
procedure NoDup(AListBox : TListBox);
var
i : integer;
begin
with AListBox do
for i := Items.Count - 1 downto 0 do
begin
if Items.IndexOf(Items[i]) < i then
Items.Delete(i);
Application.ProcessMessages;
end;
end;
How can I improve the speed?
procedure NoDup(AListBox: TListBox);
var
lStringList: TStringList;
begin
lStringList := TStringList.Create;
try
lStringList.Duplicates := dupIgnore;
lStringList.Sorted := true;
lStringList.Assign(AListBox.Items);
AListBox.Items.Assign(lStringList);
finally
lStringList.free
end;
end;
