Close is very slow

rbuser

Hi!

I'm using Delphi 5 Ent and RB7 Ent. When I create a new, blank project, I
drop a TppReport component on the form, double click on the component (the
designer is opening), then I close it, it is slow (2-3 sec)...whatever I do.
Why? There is no data components, just a simple form and a ppReport
component.
I tried install an another printer driver (HP LaserSet 5), same...

Thx:

More something.
I've tried on an another machine with same environment (D5Ent + RB7Ent).

Thx:

Hi Peter,

Is this slow reaction only happening at design-time? As a test, try
creating a small end-user app and see if the close speed is improved. We
have made a couple of changes in the designer since RB 7. In my testing
with RB 9.03 and Delphi 7 the close speed was less than a second. This
behavior could also have to do with your machine speed and memory.

It happens in design-time and run-time too. I updated my 5.5 version to 7.0,
since the problem persists. My (and the other machine) machine is a strong
machine with 1 GByte RAM. Any idea?

Hi

We had the same problem when we started using ReportBuilder. We never traced
dows the error as it went away after we started using the registry to store
user settings instead of an ini-file.

Hope it helps

Thanks Steffen,

This is a good suggestion. When the designer closes, it writes its settings
down to the RBuilder.ini file unless otherwise instructed. Setting the
TppDesigner.IniStorageType to Registry could speed up the process.
