Hello CJ Team

I am using grid control(third party tool). I had 17k records to display in the grid.
Without setting any style to the application it was taking few sec. but when I set any style to the application, It become 4 to 5 times slower.
Please help me.
Thanks in advance.

Observed the call stack with style and without style

-- For skin CJ having extra function call: CXTPSkinManagerApiHook::OnHookCallWindowProcA(..)
With this function call to next functions in the stack are taking extra time in execution, almost double (VC6 Profiler shows the difference).

Ultimately it will affect the performance of the grid/application.
May this will helpful to sort out problem.

Hello,

Do you mean slower "load time" only ?

Among other things a grid control is what you described.
Thanks for clarify it.

What I mean was: What is the name of the grid control, what company developed it?

ok, It was Stingray grid...
but I don't think so ti was grid control problem. as we can reproduce this in CJ sample application too.. with the ListBox (Adding 10K items it that).

There is one function available with CJ to disable each time hooking activity.

Hi Feffe

With style: CJ style hook is trying to set/draw the scroll position. We are using SetRedraw(..) function to tell whether we want to draw the grid or not, but no use. In Stingray grid they provided function called LockUpdate(BOOL) instead of SetRedraw(..). So before SetRedraw(..) function we need to set the grid LockUpdate(BOOL) to avoid the drawing calls.
I tried it and it is working fine..
Hope this will solve your problem...

Thank you!

I'm using Stingray object views and my problem is especially in context menu: they

appear very slowly.

Have you ever had this problem?

Do you think I can apply your method for finding a solution?

My Problem with the loading data itself it was taking time.. so that I was skip the drawing part while loading the data by using LockUpdate(BOOL)... As per context menu consurn I don't think It is useful to your case..
