this, but for the benefit of others)
Maybe some concepts are so simple, people never take them seriously:
- You reap what you sow. You get the cake you bake.
- Comparisons: 1 < 2
- Complexity often reduces efficienc
Reduced to a consistent 1.5 to 2 minutes by revising the setting of
datagrid column properties
the columns themselves, widths, and alignments set all at one. Tooltips,
sort type and sort direction set in a loop in revised code.
I still do not understand why in the original code, when 1st set

Slightly off topic, but I have run into time where I wish I could lock a
specific message or set of messages. So

What I do is set the data initially, then cache the existing setup in a

Reminds me: we have a request to do away with that,since it complicates
a lot of otherwise-powerful-and-simple things we can do with custom

Paul,
datagrids are using virtual properties, so you can't lock the messages.
tooltip, sorttype, and editability have only an effect if one interact with
the datagrid. I do not think this is your issue. Plus, I ran in a similar
problem when I updated DGH 2.5 with column color capabilities. One of

I’ve no idea if this could help or even if this may cause worse problems with a
DG, so just a thought, but have you tested with Lock Screen, Lock Messages
and/or Lock Updates while the repeat is processing?
Failing that, I would try disabling each command in turn to find out if just
one of them
I have a datagid operation that should be fast that is taking a long
time and I don't understand why.
I use a datagrid to display a table of data as part of an analysis. The
columns are file names and the rows are selected phrases found in those
