Screen Layout with Labels slow

[Paulsche]

Hi, I previously had my program "HB-fuel consumption" with drawstring text and data in written form, since I now work with Auto Scale I drawString exchanged against labels.

With labels is the screen build visible, is much slower.

Is there a way the screen in the background to build,
so that when showing the form that is immediately?

Are you sure that the labels slow down the application? How many labels do you have?

 

[Paulsche]

On the main page are 33 Labels in Transparent Mode.
Enclosed with the program code.

Maybe you have an idea.

Your application looks really nice.
Did you compile with AutoScale compilation? It should be more efficient for VGA devices.

 

[Paulsche]

Yes, with Autoscale.

the get-up of the Labels is visible, a little slow,
There is a possibility of accelerating ?
Build in Background ?

Is it the number of labels the Problem ?

I'm not sure if this is the same issue as you have but this what I've noticed.

When a transparent Label or ImageButton, and an Image paints it can be slow at times

What I see is a white flash. This is when having a dark background.

I try to limit the use of any of those controls, and favor DrawString with a calculation to center it, over a Label.

And DrawImage vs. An Image control.

I havent experimented with AutoScale yet to see if DrawString would still be centered, or as close as it can be.

This is what I use for the X location when centering the Date on a form.
It is very close and used on QVGA.

 (Form1.Width/2)- (StrLength(Date(Now))*3)

The problem is only showing the 33 labels.
I already have all the calculations off.

Is there a way to justify the screen to display only if the labels are
finished up ?

 

[Erel]

No. It is not possible.

 

[Paulsche]

No. It is not possible.

ok, so really have many labels in the form.

Thanks.
