table layout panel - slow loading 2

[bluntbill]

I have an application, in which I use a table layout panel. The program adds and removes dinamically combo boxes, text boxes and labels to the layout panel, depending on some input by the user. The problem is that sometimes it is required to add 50+ childs to the table layout panel, and it takes forever to get it done...Does anyone know a quicker way to do this, or how to speed up the process?

Thank you

Turn off the drawing on the tablelayoutpanel

tableLayoutPanel1.SuspendLayout();

//move/add/delete controls here

tableLayoutPanel1.ResumeLayout(true); //perform layout

Give that a try. If this doesn't work - try making the tablelayoutpanel invisible while you do the work and then show it when it's done.

thanks a lot

suspending the layout worked out just fine. Something that used to take 20+ seconds now takes 2/3 seconds.

You deserve a star for that
