Hi Daniel   Using remote desktop we don't see a performance issue. Is the Uniface 10 Web Edition installed on a local disk or on a network share ? Process Monitor from Windows Sysinternals on the Windows TSE with a filter on ide.exe can help to find the bottleneck.   Kind regards Peter Beugel Sr. Technical Support Analyst Uniface B.V.

Thanks for your response Peter ! Yes, Uniface 10 is installed on the local (D:) disk With the process monitor, I don't really know how to use it ...  At the level of IDE.exe,  when I do right clic on an item, the window of the drop down menu open , but blank. In the monitor, the process IDE.exe at  this moment is red with a display with status:  no response it's only 8-10 seconds after, that  the drop down window display the items of the drop down menu ... I hope these info will help ..  Do I have to compile something before starting to use IDE ? (something like uobj  perhaps ?) Many Thanks for any help you can give me Best Regards Daniel

Hello Daniel   Process Monitor can be downloaded from https://technet.microsoft.com/de-de/sysinternals/bb896645 Start process monitor  add a filter on ide.exe (Process name contains ide.exe) Capture Events Start ide and events should visible in process monitor.   Uniface 10 uses Easy deployment so uses archives (uar files) : uobj is not in use anymore. /who on the command line from ide shows paths and uar files in use. What is the result for /who in your environment ?   Kind regards Peter Beugel Sr. Technical Support Analyst Uniface B.V.

here is the result of ide/who : for me, it seems to be OK .. but I'm not a specialist...

Hello Daniel   Thanks for the /who log. Testing here shows the same problem on Windows 2008R2 even without Windows TSE. Other platforms like Windows 2012R2 do not have this performance problem. We will look into this.   Kind regards Peter Beugel Sr. Technical Support Analyst Uniface B.V.

Many Thanks for that ! Daniel

Just some feedback on this.  It's proving to be particularly nasty to get to the bottom of.  The clients on Windows 2008 server is closely related to Windows 7, and we have see some similar 'weirdness' on Windows 7, but seems to be intermittent, and less visible.  We think it is related to the Google/Chromium underpinnings which we use for the HTML forms, and how it's handling threads.  We also think that moving to a later version of this software (sometimes called CEF) could resolve it.  The same underpinnings are used for the HTML control in Uniface 9.6, and we are currently working on updating that to resolve some technical issues, and also enable 64 bit (bits?). It's not a straight forward swap, because the architecture changed between the version, and we have challenges with our automated tests which need to be changed/updated and Windows XP and our move to the Ranerex testing tool and upping our Visual Studio version is also in the mix.  So we will focus on the HTML widget upgrading project (we're aiming to include this in Windows 9.7), use that foundation in the HTML forms with the expectation that this will also resolve this.  In the interim, the advise would be avoid using the 2008 environment. This might not be idea, but this doesn't look like it's going to be a quick fix.

As an update . The HTML widget upgrade project mentioned is currently being worked on for 9.7. I've tested this context menu on such a Uniface lab build on a windows 2008R2 machine and could not reproduce the symptom anymore. Using 10.1 I can see the issue. However this fact still not change it to a quick fix, because of the dependencies explained.. PS: Intel uses 32 bit and 64 bit, even for multiple core CPUs

Hi Daniel, I'm glad to tell you that we have found a solution for your performance issue. The fix will be in the coming release (10.1.02) in July. Sjaak

Thank you very much Sjaak I'm looking forward this new release.   Best regards Daniel
