Jean, I have been relooking at this and wil give it another go. When I first made the changes, all seemed to be OK but with large transaction lists it was slow. Also if I remember right there was a lot of, it is not the same as the existing which slightly put me off any further progress. I have recently created a new tree view / model based on the original register rewrite to see if I had made an error with my changes but it also is slow with large transaction lists, slightly quicker than my effort but I think that was down to only having one transaction row. I did implement only retrieving part of the transaction list at a time but this needs to be changed along with the vertical scrollbars which I may have an idea about.
If you can wait, I will try and spend more time on it soon. Multi selection still might be tricky, what do you want that for?
