Improving performance in a dialog DLL
Hi experts!
This is my question: I have a dialog based DLL. in the OnInitDialog function I call another function (LoadControls) that init all the combo box-s in the dialog, using the DB. I have a lot of combo and I need to init all of them from DB tables. hence - the OnInitDialog gets very slow. I would like to remove the call to LoadControls from the OnInitDialod and right after that to call it. That way the dialog is displayed and the user is under the impression that all is OK. mean while - I load (behind the scene) all the data for the combos. I imagine that there is an event I have to catch. which one?

I'm sorry but I don't work with the wizard; I edit the code all by my self! I've added the function manually and did all u said. I added a MessageBox in the function OnContinueSetup but it never pops up. I'm missing something. what is it?

Forget it! I did it - all it needs was the

hi osnat,
Thanks for accepting my comment as an answer. However, I am curious as to why you gave me a 'B.' It seems that my comment help you out a lot, but now my overall grade-point-average has declined. It is discouraging to me.

Of cause you need to make sure that user won't start using comboboxes before you load them...
