Fellow Foxers,
Just a little aside to late  Wednesday afternoon:

I have a heavyweight data entry program in VFP written which supports one 
monster form with pageframes stacked inside each other each page containing 
various visual classes down to up to 10 levels. 

This form is now showing its age as it has been added to over some 20 years and 
never been streamlined or optimised in any way. The main problem is that the 
switching from the main form pageframe onto each of the 10 tabs in the 
pageframe is somewhat slow running on the network and I am sure that it is all 
the Draw(), Paint() and refresh repeat calls that are affecting it. 

So, I have decided to rip it apart and find out just where the majority of the 
repeat "refresh" coding is being done.

I thought I could initially use the event Logger but it doesn't log calls to 
any refresh methods so then I turned my mind to the coverage logger which 
doesn't really help me at all. 

Anyone any ideas as to how I can easily accumulate the calls to the various 
controls refresh methods and get some simple statistics to have a look at where 
all the processing effort is going? 

All I can think of is to programmatically bind a "logging procedure" event to 
each control's refresh event and then log the results into something like a csv 
table for further analysis or at worst, log events by collecting information 
from the refresh events in the base classes for each control but that would be 
very long winded.

Any other ideas other than those mentioned?

Dave
