set the textstyle is dramatically slower on 7.0.1 than 5.5

Using this kind of processing in a loop is extremely fast on 5.5: set the textstyle["box"] of char x to y of fld 1 to true On 7.0.1 it goes at a snail's pace. I haven't bothered to do any benchmarks yet, just wondered if anyone else has noticed this (or is it another of these things peculiar t

Re: set the textstyle is dramatically slower on 7.0.1 than 5.5

5.5 can mark up a fld containing almost 4000 lines, with a box round (at least) one word of each line, in 7 seconds. 7.0.1 takes 136 seconds to process the same field, and switches after a short while from using a LC-style "busy" cursor, to using the windows system busy cursor. Normally when I se

Search the dictionary for "font". You'll see a newer syntax with more platforms supported. "Start using font file" and "Stop using font file". This has worked better than revLoadFont for me. Also, include your font in the copy files pane of the standalone builder. ~Roger On Dec 31, 2014 12:19 P

Re: set the textstyle is dramatically slower on 7.0.1 than 5.5

Using the same technique with 5.5 takes 175ms rather than 960ms. So, 5.5 is still many times faster than 7.0.1 when it comes to styling text in fields (5.5 is around 6x faster than 7.0.1 even using this technique). Using a loop through the field where each word/chunk is styled as it is found (usin
