Hello,
I would like a way to quickly launch a winform application that has a slow
loading control(s) (datagrid in this case). I am working on optimizing the
datasource for the datagrid but was hoping that there was a technique
(design pattern) that I could follow that would allow me to launch the form
with placeholders that would be filled in as they became available. The main
control that I am concerned with is a datagrid and I would like for it to be
shown with all its columns and blank rows and a hourglass mouse cursor to
show the user that the screen is still rendering. And to have these controls
to smoothly fill in the screen without flicker or resizing the form. The way
I have it coded now the loading of the datagrid (which takes about 20
seconds) is blocking the rendering of the form.
thanks,
Scott
