... Even otherwise limit use of the functions to absolute necessity. But for browses of small tables and for local tables it is okay. Adskeyno is even slower than ordkeyno. Also it involves round trips to the server and it is not good programming practice to increase network traffic for just cosmetic ...

... it almost unusable. By the way: I have tested the same program with and without ADS. With ADS it shows a better response time, but still much slower that what Reinaldo and yourself and many other ADS users are getting. Therefore, I must conclude that something else is wrong either with my ...

... an ADS progrm so slow to run. My experience with huge tables of several hundred thousand rows and more than hundred users work quite fast even on slower wide area network connections. Filters like "TALLER PEREZ" $ CLIENTE are inherently the most inefficient. Even such filters give good performance ...

Tim, I thought we had solved the flickering problem? The slower loading is due to the fact that it has all the additional features that you like. If all those features were added to TWBrowse then I'm sure it would be just as slow. If you look at the ...

... SetMsg() call. I know I can create an entirely new message bar to replace the existing one which would have a new default string, but that is much slower and creates a noticeable flashing in the message bar area. Thanks!

Yes, that is essentially what I am doing. The problem with FILTER though is it must evaluate every record of the database so it is much slower than SCOPE...but SCOPE will allow for only one key evaluation...and I need three. What I am contemplating is copying to a temp database based on two ...

... probably is caused for the "double buffer" technique used on dialogs. The "double buffer" technique avoids "flickering" but the painting speed is slower You can disable the "double buffer" technique in FWH modifying these two methods in Class TWindow: METHOD DispBegin() VIRTUAL METHOD DispEnd() ...

Vista RC1 seems to work fine, though still it is sensibly slower than XP.

... the directory() function find 'con.bmp' ? Thanks for the reply. My FT_PROPER() does not work, but have invented a work-around in pure clipper (slower but reliable). Directory("con.bmp") returns: Length: 1 Name: "con" Size: "0" Date: "01/01/01" Time: "03:00:00" // !!!!!!! Attributes: "A" File("con.bmp") ...

... a "volume" (file) on any store. However CEDB was really built to operate on a RAM-based store, does not work efficiently for storing data in slower media like flash. It can end up writing to flash much more than you'd really want. As CEDB started showing its age, the SQL team took up the ...

... it with the fread()/fwrite() functions. It's much faster (4.7sec) than COPY FILE (45sec), but increasing the buffer doesn't help. It even makes it slower. With a buffer of 1024bytes it takes 4.7sec, a buffer of 20000bytes result in 11.5sec Regards, Marc

... The reason I did this was due to many controls / folder pages, etc, which were created from data driven applications. The computers were much slower ( 386 speed ) and this saved lots of overhead. Upon 're-activation' the controls worked fine, but, my dialog's background was "transparent". ...

... Mobile 2005: http://img67.imageshack.us/img67/4411/image18rw.png The Windows Mobile 2005 emulator needs more time to load and its slower, but now we can check FWPPC on it too :)

Enrico,

Yes, I think the same but the fact is that if we use it, and you start resizing the main window, then you can see how it gets slower, as it were consuming more and more resources.

The code is there, so it may be used, but with caution until we know for sure if it is working ok.
