Re: [wxperl-users] wxTextCtrl very slow on large data files

[Peter G. <pe...@pg...>]

What I really need is a Virtual TextCtrl. There are two problems with
the ListCtrl:
	a) I can't copy and paste from the control
	b) I sometimes need to highlight part of the line in a 
	different colour. I can do this with the TextCtrl but not with
	the ListCtrl.
