Forms & Form designer
Hello Barry.
>> I have a VFP form which has a dropdown list populated from an array which takes the data from a table. There are about 1000 entries. <<
IMHO, you have the wrong tool for the job. 1000 entries is too many for a combo box.
>> When my form instantiates there is a long delay with just the form border showing and not the other controls on the form. I am trying to get a much snappier appearance but I cannot work out how to delay the form showing until the array has been populated. <<
If this is working against a VFP backend, change the RowSourceType to 6-fields instead. The control will be populated much faster. If you are working with remote data, you have to limit the entries you are displaying in the combo.
