Hey Powerbuilders and DataWindow-Designers!
I "designed" a datawindow and it looks very good. It has many PNG pictures to show informations in a graphical manner.
So far so good. But when I want to retrieve a larger amount of data, ist is getting awfully slow when I retrieve data for the first time in this screen.
Choosing an other datawindow and coming back its fast enough. It is not a problem of the retrieve, which is fast in any case.
I think, first time a chache is filled, also it depends from the PCs RAM. On a virtual machine with 4 GB memory you like kill the task.
Any tips to improve this behaviour?
Thanks for all tips!
Stephan
Like mentioned before, it's a little bit faster, setting Redraw to false.
I just found an old version of my software, the screen is nearly the same. Rerieving the same set of data on the same database, the result was there in less than a second. It was build with PB 19, without any themes.
So I switched off any themes, but it was slow as before.
Now I renamed the datawindow and imported the same datawindow from the old version .... and it was fast again!
I will examine and searching for the difference now.
best regards
Stephan
