Sorting items in a Container performance

[State Thirteen]

Hi,

I have a Container with about 300 MultiButtons in it. I need a performance friendly approach for sorting the buttons.

I try removeAll() from the container and then add new buttons and revalidate the form but it takes quite a lot of time in this case. 

I not quite understand how revalidate() works and what the correct way to use it. Same for the repaint().

Hi,
you need to remove/add all but only invoke revalidate (or animateLayout might be nicer) in the end after finishing everything.
You can invoke layoutContainer() instead of revalidate for this particular use case since you only rearrange the elements.

Should I invoke layoutContainer() only for the Container with buttons or for the form?

Container with the buttons.

Ok. Thanks!
