Dear Sir,

We are using prof uis v-7.0 . & Ribbonbar mdi in our (Biomedical) Diagnostic ECG application.
During online ECG showing on view the UI speed is very very slow & some time application get hang .
I am using following code in main frame after initialization of ribbonbar & CustomizeStateLoad to gain UI speed.
    CExtPopupMenuWnd::g_bMenuWithShadows = false;
    CExtPopupMenuWnd::g_bMenuShowCoolTips = true;
    CExtPopupMenuWnd::g_bMenuExpanding = false;
    CExtPopupMenuWnd::g_bMenuHighlightRarely = false;
    CExtPopupMenuWnd::g_bMenuExpandAnimation = false;
    CExtPopupMenuWnd::g_DefAnimationType = CExtPopupMenuWnd::__AT_NONE;
    CExtPopupMenuWnd::g_nDefaultFadeOutAnimationStepCount = 0;
    CExtPopupMenuWnd::g_nDefaultFadeOutAnimationEllapse = 0;
    CExtPaintManager::g_DefAnimationParametersNormal
But there is not enough improvement in UI speed.
How to improve UI speed?
Please suggest some appropriate solution.

Thanks

Dear Sir,

My application is real time ECG system , which takes data from external device & display it . For that I am using multithreading & timers also.

In this case UI speed become very slow.

Can you please suggest some code that handle these situations & to improve speed of UI.

Thanks.

Thanks Hans ,

I overloaded CWinThread::IsIdleMessage() this function but not much improvement in UI speed.
I am using multithrading & timers also in real time ECG application ,can you please specify some other methods also to improve UI speed.

Regards

Are you using timers and/or idle application time processing in you project for such long operations as data base queries? Besides, all the command updating handler methods should also be free of heavy operations.

Hello,

we had a similar problem here and achieved a major improvement by overloading CWinThread::IsIdleMessage() in the following way:

BOOL CMyApp::IsIdleMessage(MSG* pMsg) // checks for special messages
{
    if (pMsg->message == WM_TIMER)
    {
        return FALSE;
    }

    return CWinApp::IsIdleMessage(pMsg);    
}
