add a lot of controls to a Composite

I have to add a lot of controls to a composite (600+). This takes a lot of time. Is there a way to do this more efficiently ? Maybe suppress some events ?

I do the add dynamically, based on some user input (button click, checkbox check/uncheck, etc.)

Thank you

Try disabling intermediate redraws:

parentComposite.setRedraw(false);
try {
  // perform all needed work
} finally {
  parentComposite.setRedraw(true);
}

This can speed up the time it takes to do ui work considerably in some cases.

My first hint would be to use a wizard to spread the controls throughout various screens.
