Screen Emulator

Question:

I have design a screen emulator that receive instruction from a cobol program thru Tcp/Ip from a unix machine, and sometimes I have to create at runtime a lot of textbox ( 100 or so of them) with the load command and then when the screen change I have to unload all of them before displaying the next screen...

I don't have to tell you it's very slow, do you know a better way to do the same thing faster, with API or using something else then textbox

Solution:

Using this amount of text boxes is well over the limit and I would suguest using a control such as a listbox to accomplish what you are doing. If you need the user to click on an item in the list box you can use either the text or the index to recongnise the entry the user has clicked on and then preform the operation.
