Good to hear

I am actually updating my Tweaking Form Controls which my programs use (So they can do unicode and so on). I fixed a few bugs in the controls and I am also playing around with some compiler optimizations where basically I turn off the safety checks and it makes a 40% speed improvement. Just means I have to make sure the code is good or there will be crashes without those safe guards.

So I will be coming out with v3.2.3 soon and it will mainly be performance improvements. I will be updating all the programs that use the controls actually

Well, I wouldn't care if the program is (somewhat) slower.

Well it would be the same speed it is now. I am just testing it out, I would love the performance increase, but I have to make sure it is solid, and that control is huge. I am also going to be testing my code in my programs to make sure everything is set correctly and all error handling is covered so I can turn those off on the programs themselves as well and get a big boost in performance with anything having to do with arrays and loops.

But that testing takes LOTS of time AS WELL !!!!!!!!!!!

To a point, it is just a matter of having error handling coded in, which I do anyways.

I know you are a worry wart on these things. Dont worry I dont plan on anything extreme, and if in my testing there is any trouble at all I just take the little check mark off and all done

But first thing is first, code cleanup in WR before I do it. I have already done code cleanup in RB, so that one is a lot safer to go.

The VB6 compiler options I am talking about are explained here if you are interested

Was the "messy"code then such a problem ?

it just cleans up the code so code that's no longer being used or entries that are just blank and what not are removed. it makes the program faster because less lines of code to process. shoot i think it may make the exe smaller as well. then again it's already small as is he hacks and slashes that exe to the size of a pebble lol
