DCRTF very slow while closing

[jjelders]

In the function below I show a helpscreen from a rtf-file.
The rtf-file has a size of about 10mb because there are screendumps in it.
The function opens the rtf in a short time but when I close the screen it takes about 20 seconds before my application reacts again. After closing the screen the cpu usage rises to about 80%.
Somebody knows why this happens?

FUNCTION Displayhelp()

cMemo:=MemoRead('help.rtf')

two thoughts..

the program might be doing garbage collection..

do you have real-time anti-virus active in the directory of the rtf file ?

[jjelders]

Garbage collection could be but always at the same spot?
I have AVG antivirus now but also Microsoft essentials has the problem.
I do not think the antivirus is the problem because on other machines I have the same problem.

hi,

did same happens with RFT when using WordPad.EXE ?
did you tray c:\ALASKA\XPPW32\Source\samples\activex\editor\rtf.prg

[jjelders]

With Wordpad.exe no problems with loading and closing.

With rtf.prg (editor.exe) the rtf-file loads quickly in the window but after that the program does not react for 18 seconds. Closing the exe is fast.

sounds like xbase++ is processing the rtf contents for that 18 seconds..

Send me your application code with your RTF file.

I will see what I can do.

Hi Roger,

Included you will find a zipfile with the program, the rtf-file and some athert data to run it.

Thanks in advance

I don't understand what your program is supposed to do.

You didn't include the source code.

When I run zwfb.exe, it opens an EXCEL file.

What does this have to do with your RTF problem?

[jjelders]

A short time ago I replied to your message.
I do not see it in the forum.
So I sent the prg once again but now in zip format.
