461.0. "VB slow form" by NETRIX::"[email protected]" (gerard flamion) Fri Feb 07 1997 14:51

Wish :
Use a simple form to enter attributes during the creation 
of an object. (e.g. auto obdc call for entry validation, etc..)

A solutionn:
I've used VB (call from a method during object creation:

  for WSTYPE_DOSWIN = MEXT_COMMANDLINE ("VBTest.exe -create 
                       {Object.Reference} <Integer>");
In this VB program I'm calling LinkWorks via OLE to add new attributes
 to new object

Conclusions : It's running but it's Sloooooowwwwwww !
Just to start the forms it takes seconds..

Do you have any hints to speed up this forms ?

Thanks for any help,

Use C/C++. Visual Basic is slow.

Gerard,

You can improve the VB performence by working with VB OLE server, rather then
an executable. You will then use Mext_DLL and not commandline.
The OLE server will call the form. 

For AA from your VB form, if the number of attributes you are refering to is 5+,
you will have to use a DLL to do the AA, rather then OLE Automation calls.
