Slow GUI After Multiple Actions

[Blueman]

Hey Guys,

Maybe you can help me with something small.
It is not terrible but it slows down my script and after a while even crash the script.

First i explain what i have;
I have a GUI with a lot of GUICtrlCreateInput controls, lets say 600 pieces.
All the controls are hidden when the GUI is displayed, i have 3 buttons attached to 200 pieces each.

When i press button-1 the first 200 controls are showed,
When i press button-2 the first 200 controls are hidden and the next 200 controls are showed,
etc, etc.

This is working perfectly but after a while the GUI is getting slower and slower.
After a while the controls aren't responding anymore and the script crashes.

When i compile the script to 64-Bits version the speed is a lot better but you can still see the script slowing down each time i use the buttons.

I think there has to be a buffer somewhere that is filling each time i show and hide the controls, but how can i clear that buffer without restarting the script?

Deleting and re-creating the controls didn't help, deleting the entire gui (and controls) and re-creating it didn't help also.
The only thing that is working is restarting the script.

Thanks guys!

PS: If you need a working example i can add it to this topic, just let me know. It is not rocket science, i just create the controls and show/hide them with a while loop and 3 buttons.

Blueman,

Try to also toggle the disable\Enable state for the controls which you Hide\Show So that they dont interact with your loop ..

Blueman,

Having so many controls and hiding/showing them has always been slow. You might like to look at this recent thread where someone wanted to have multiple inputs - it turned out that a ListView with my GUIListViewEx UDF (link on my sig) was able to replace the multiple inputs without creating the same problem.

I had the same problem, described here 

 

and I managed to fix it with the GUIListViewEx  as @Melba23 suggested. I have rewrite the code and it is all flawless now!

 

Thank you @Melba23, @Blueman, I am sure you will be able to to the same

MilenP,

Thanks for the endorsement. And for providing the link to the relevant thread - I thought I had done so but it appears not!

Guys,

Thanks for the perfect sollution!
I have tried that and it is working perfectly, and very quick.

Didn't know that there was a (GUIListViewEx) Function that makes the list editable, what a great invention.

Thanks all

Your The man, man!

I just have one simple question, hope that i may ask you this.
Is there a way to change the value in a certain column by clicking on a button?

So Something Like:

_GUIListViewEx_ChangeFieldValue($List_Index, $row, $col, $newvalue)

Now i have looked at a way to do this by updating the array and then 'redraw' the list but this is a lot of work for every column.

Thanks in advance!

Greetings Wouter

Blueman,

The _GUIListViewEx_ChangeItem function should do what you require.

May I suggest looking at the #CURRENT# section at the top of the UDF include file - it lists all the available functions within the UDF. And as with all of my UDFs each function has its own detailed header explaining the parameters and return values.

Melba,

I have literally searched the whole UDF for a couple of hours for this function.
I don't know why but i didn't saw it,.. what a stupid mistake from my side!

Thanks for the answer, as Noobie as the question was,.

You helped me a lot, thank you.
