Trinione | Currently, it takes about a second for the blank custom calendar grid to be created. This time is noticeable, and even moreso when several months, thus several forms, are required.
I am wondering if an already created form can be cloned/duplicated - events without creating the entire form? Or, can the grid, with the created cell layout, be copied to another new grid? I have attached a screenshot of the blank calendar layout. The grey cells are where the data shall go, just above it shall show the relevant day number. Attachments: calendarBlank.png |

I would need to see your code in order to give any performance advice. Usually, performance problems are related to a lack of BeginUpdate..EndUpdate calls. Tim Young Elevate Software www.elevatesoft.com |

Tim Young [Elevate Software] Elevate Software, Inc. timyoung@elevatesoft.com | Okay, I got your form via email. I'm seeing 356 msecs for the creation time here using IE11, not 1 second. In your BuildGrid method, you definitely want to add this: grdCalendar.BeginUpdate; try finally grdCalendar.EndUpdate; end; But, that didn't affect the time that much here. In general, any other type of time that is over-and-above the built-in TCalendar is due to the fact that you're using a form instead of just a straight up custom TControl-descendant. << I came across this bit of Delphi code, its for a Panel, but says it would work for any component. http://www.swissdelphicenter.ch/torry/showcode.php?id=785 Don't know if it applies, but the quest for a solution led me there. >> No, it doesn't apply.

No difference. << In general, any other type of time that is over-and-above the built-in TCalendar is due to the fact that you're using a form instead of just a straight up custom TControl-descendant. >> What I would like to do is run frmBlankCalendar.Create() so procedure BuildGrid is run once - thus creating grdCalendar. So, a blank Calendar grid is available for cloning/duplicating. Can a copy of the grdCalendar be used as a new grid component named say grdMonthJan2016. I just realised I didn't send another related program. Shall email it. ~ |

<< What I would like to do is run frmBlankCalendar.Create() so procedure BuildGrid is run once - thus creating grdCalendar. So, a blank Calendar grid is available for cloning/duplicating. >> This won't work - to create a duplicate requires *creating another copy* that will be the target of the duplication. You're not buying yourself any time savings. << Can a copy of the grdCalendar be used as a new grid component named say grdMonthJan2016. >> I wouldn't go down that route. You're just dancing around the issue, which is that this should be created as a normal control, not a form. A normal control doesn't need form persistence and other things that add time to the creation of the control. Tim Young Elevate Software www.elevatesoft.com |

Ok. I'm gonna take off my dancing shoes and create a custom control. Since this is a TGrid component in the main, I take it I will have to start from there. Looking thru the manual I am not seeing any info on Custom Control creation. Can you point me in the right direction with any docs or threads on here. To be clear - I can run my app with what I have got, I was just trying to speed it up so this is not Critical. But, I would use this opp to learn the Custom Control creation as well as to offer a faster response in version 2 of my product. |

Trinione | Tim:
For manual grids, can new Properties SetCols and SetRows be added at some point? So, to define a grid with six columns would be grdName.SetCols(6) and twelve rows, grdName.SetRows(12). Or, add a parameter to allow NewColumn(6) and InsertRow(12). |
