How do I get the start index and number of visible items in a ListView?

Question

I have a listview working in virtual mode, in the LargeIcons view. Retrieves are expensive, so I want to ask for the data for all the visible items. How do I get the start

Answer 1

You could iterate through subsequent items, checking their visibility until you reach the one that isn't visible. This would give you a count of the visible items.

For example, something like:

        for (int index = 0; index < list.Items.Count; index++)
        {
            if (list.ClientRectangle.IntersectsWith(item.GetBounds(ItemBoundsPortion.Entire)))
            {
                // Add to the list to get data.
            }
            else
            {
                // We got them all.
                break;
            }
        }

I'm not sure what effect sorting would have on this though.
