In a project I am working on I use a loop to add UltraExplorerBarItems to groups inside an UltraExplorerBar control. When I use the VisualStudio2005Toolbox and ExplorerBar Styles the loop takes around 10-12 seconds to load 90 items. But when I use either Toolbox or OutlookNavigationPane Styles the items seem to load instantaneously. The loop code stays the same, the Style of the UltraExplorerBar is the only thing that changes. Are there any known bugs regarding this or is there some property I could change? I would like to be able to use the VisualStudio2005Toolbox Style but speed is important.

Try wrapping the code that populates the Items collections in calls to the control's BeginUpdate/EndUpdate methods.
That worked beautifully, thank you!
