Many already know this, but for some who may not, I stumbled across Ted's whitepaper notes from DevCon '04 that gives tips on improving performance (or at least "perceived" performance) while searching for issues with multiple, nested LockScreens.
http://www.tedroche.com/Present/1997/Dev04/Dev04.htm#Interface From that link: "LockScreen speeds native VFP updates* --*- set THISFORM.LockScreen True before updating or refreshing the form, then LockScreen False when all changes are completed. FoxPro repaints the screen once instead of many times, actually speeding up the application. This also provides a psychological speed-up, and the operator does not see each control refreshing, then another, then another" The tip below that about moving OCXs (like treeviews) offsite is a pretty good one too, although I don't use OCXs so it really doesn't affect me. Man...there's a lot of good tips out there...and we're fortunate to have some of those tipsters here at ProFox too. Thank you for your contributions! --Michael -- Michael J.
