Ownerdata listview in report mode - have it behave as a "sliding window"

[R.Wieser]

Hello all,

I've created a simple hex viewer using a listview in report and "owner data"
mode, and am running into a problem: it only handles upto a hundred-million
rows. Even with eight bytes a row that means that I'm limited to files no
bigger than 800 MByte. And thats simple too little for the current days
filesizes.

So, I've been thinking about a "sliding window" method where the listview
only handles as many rows as needed to display

The problem is that when I let the listviews index "roll over" (from bottom
to top or vise-verse when another block of data is loaded)) I cannot seem to
find a method which will keep the newly selected row at the top or bottom.
In other words: while moving thru the data the "cursor" will behave as if I
am leafing thru pages of it, instead of one continuous block.

tl;dr:
Does anyone here have any knowledge/info/example about using a ListView on
more data than it can actually handle. Although I've been looking at a
"sliding window" solution I'm (ofcourse) open to others too. :-)

I gave up on listviews and all their quirks. It's not that hard to
roll your own.
