I have an editfield that I am loading with styled text.
There are two StyleRuns. The first is a reference, the second is a sentence.
In my sample there are 28 sentences (56 styleRuns) with a total length of
3,695 characters (reference+ text).
If I load the styletext in a StyledText object it takes about 1 tick:
dim n as integer
dim arr() as StyleRun
dim st as StyleRun
dim stext as StyledText
dim ref(28) as string // my references
dim txt(28) as string // my sentences
for i= 0 to 27
st= new StyleRun
st.text= ref(i)
st.font= "verdana"
st.bold= true
st.TextColor= &c0000FF
arr.append st
st= new StyleRun
st.text= txt(i)+ EndOfLine
st.font= "verdana"
arr.append st
next
stext= new StyledText
for each st in arr
stext.AppendStyleRun st
next
// up to this point it takes about 1 tick
// but when I assign the stext to the editfield:
editField1.StyledText= stext
// the above assignment takes 44 ticks.
// I have also tried the assignment without the stext:
for each st in arr
editField1.StyledText.AppendStyledRun st
next
same deal; 42 ticks
With 288 sentences then stext is constructed in 2 ticks. The editfield takes
3,041 ticks!
I've tried making the editfield visible= false; enabled= false; multiline=
false; styledtext= nil;
If I can construct a complete styledText object in 2 ticks, why would it
take 3k ticks to move it to the editfield?
I must be missing something.
Help please...
