Delay when applying changes on syntax color

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

Product: Xtreme SyntaxEdit (ActiveX) version 12.1.1 
Platform: Windows Vista (64bit) - SP 1 
Language: C++

Hello, I have purchased the ActiveX SyntaxEdit and after insert it in my application I have found the following problem:

If I modify my custom schema in order to change the color of the text or another feature, there is a delay of about 20-30 seconds to update the changes in the editor.

What I do is modifying the schema then saving the modifications and going to my application to see the changes. 

I have noted that in the demo application it works better and this delay is fewer (about 2 seconds).

I have found the function: Public Sub RefreshColors(). Remarks: Refreshing colors causes the syntax editor to re-read configuration files and 
re-parse the current document.

That is what I need but it seems to doesn't work.

Thank you in advance.

	I think that this delay related to FileMonitor and Thread used to catch ini and scheme files modifications and notify app to update syntax and colors. It take time and difficult to predict run-time. I make version without FileMonitor and direct call onupdate with hint = xtpEditHintInitView to reload config and immediatly see result. I think it will be faster. It will allow to stop app faster as we don't need to wait for thread. I am not sure that Refresh colors in Activex version do all needed job. Will check later. But under new mode you don't need to use it. I also see client's claim about long time to close app (Issue # 20738)

	Get recent pre-release - it also have some serious fixes e.g. in Intellisense.
