Variable Manager: treeview expansion way too slow

[David Moerman]

How many others have experienced this?  I have a big library of shared variables (>600) and I want to monitor a few of them via the Variable Manager.  When I try to expand the process in the treeview, it takes nearly 100% cpu in order to expand the list at a rate of about 2 per second.  That means I have to wait 5 minutes before I can do the drag-n-drop to the watch window.  Using VarMan v8.5.

My guess is that NI used LabVIEW to build the Variable Manager, and the
treeview control is very slow when you're adding items.

They should put a differ panel update before they populate the tree, or hide
the tree. Not much you can do about it.
