[archive] Grids and Inspect statement

[Migrated content. Thread originally posted on 24 April 2009]

We have a grid that is 11 columns and varying amounts of rows. Only 3 of the columns accept entry. It is setup like an excel spreadsheet so as the user enters values in the cells that changes values in other columns/rows.

It all works great except that when the user changes a value and tabs to another cell it takes up to 5 -6 seconds for the cursor to move. If the user uses the mouse to click on the next field (instead of tabbing) we do not see the slowness.

Watching it in debug the system performs inspect statements, compute statements & modify statements.

Has anyone else seen this issue or is there some ECN that will fix it? This is a major issue and I will try anything so don't be shy on things I can try.

Thanks

Assuming you don't believe your code is resonsible for the day

What version are you using?
Is it thinclient?

Can you create a small reproducible example - then we might be able to help?

Version 6.2
Yes Thin-Client

I have not tried to make a sample project, but if I get a spare minute or two I will try.

Thanks

We've used grids for data entry in thin client(And fat client) from V6.2
Most commonly used program is our sales order input - 9 by 400, and data only allowed in certain columns also, with others being populated//changed by certain actions.

Never experienced delays like that in cursor movement.

Best knock up a sample i'd say.

I will try and recreate this in a project and send it out to the forum. Thanks for all the input and keep it coming. The more info we get the more we can try to fix this major issue for us.

Here is a sample project that when ran via thin-client we see the issue.

Basically just run and change the values of the amounts in the cells, when you tab or arrow to the next cell it takes seconds (3-5) for the cursor to move.

I have a ticket into Acucorp on this but have had no resolution from them as of yet.

Thanks
