I have a grid application with 12 fields. Switching between the different application sections via the menu tree is normally quite fast, i.e. 0.5 - 1 sec. However, I noticed that when I open the fields section and click on individual fields to, e.g. to change the format, it may take 30-60 seconds before the properties of the clicked field becomes available. In the meanwhile the existing section is still shown and a status text at the bottom says: “Waiting for 127.0.0.1…”
I am developing under Windows 7 on a powerful Intel quad core I7 processor, so I don’t see why it has to take so long.
Incidentally, I have noticed that another grid application with 17 fields takes a full 1,5 minutes to generate.
Is there perhaps an issue with the performance of grid applications in the development tool getting worse as the number of fields increase?
