Hi,

I have implemented MDIWindowListItem to my application. I am having problem that, ThemedContainer rendering is very slow during design time. I can see ThemContainer rendering look like freeze when I switch between application. It also cause diffifcutly while editing menu toolstripitem at MDI form as well.



Any ideas how to solve it?



Thank you

I have also noticed that the ThemedContain renders very slow at design time.

Hi guys,

I am having the same issue, but not only at design time, but when running the .EXE out of VS IDE.

Please check this thread to see if anything applies to your particular issues:

Chan or Greg,

If you can get me a quick sample to reproduce your problem I will see if I can get you a fix.

Edhy,

I think that your run-time problems are totally unrelated to this.  I have reproduced your problems and given you several options to fix the problem.  This is not the same issue.

Just FYI here...when you post something indicating that you have a rendering issue, I really need more details before I can help.  Samples are always good, errors, more specifics, etc.  When you provide this information it will help us get to a resolution more quickly since I cannot determine what is going on by just noting that there is a rendering problem.  An example of this was when Edhy posted his issue on that other thread, he created a video so I could see what was going on.  That helped a lot so that I could try to reproduce that problem...just FYI, thanks Smile

Hi,

I have no video tool. However, I capture few screen shot.

OK...it is not invalidating.  We try to reduce the number of times that this control renders itself.  I see that it is in a control within a panel on an MDI form.  So events may fire slightly differently.  I will see if I can reproduce, but this is not a matter of the control rendering slow.  It is a matter of the control just trying to reduce the number of invalidations.  I will see if I can setup a scenario where this happens.

Hi,

Thank you for reply.

Just to add on, because of this, it is very difficulty when I am adjusting control inside themedcontainer.



Thank you

I have spent a fair amount of time trying to reproduce this....with no luck.  Obviously you are having an issue as I saw in your screen shot, but it would be helpful if you could produce a quick sample that replicates the issue or give me some specific steps to reproeuce.  There is something else in the mix in your environment that I am probably not doing that is introducing the behavior.
