Not sure it if is related, but this does sound a bit similar to an issue a user reported earlier this year where one window in their project was slow to display in the IDE. It turned out to be caused by a combination of sliders with tick marks on, a high max value, a small page step and macOS Monterey. The problem went away after changing to more realistic values for the slider.
But there is not much information here to go on, so without seeing the project in question we can only guess at this point.
Iâve had exactly that! I increased the maximum of a slider to 1000 to get better precision (I then divide by 1000), and the window became old dog slow, had to update the page step value.
This beach ball appearance only happens when the mouse is being moved on the MainWindow AND when in Developing mode, NOT when the project is running. Would there be any kind of code triggering when the project is not running?
I eliminated more and more objects and it turns out itâs 2 nested tab panels. I have 2 nested Tab panels inside a 3rd one, deleting the 2 inner tab panels make the program act normally again without beach ball. This isnât a problem in release 2.
That is why I loaded the shared project, but⊠it does not show me anything useful⊠(as you said)
As I wrote: âJust curiousâ.
Plus: some people told me about âan oil manufactureâ talking for a window that asked for name / reason / phone nbr and who send people to them (< 30 Controls in the window). I do not understand their concern then (their papers holds far more data / questionsâŠ).
Not really. Itâs based on the design of the published app which is being used by many people, I never heard any complaints. I decided for this embedded tab design because it makes it clear what the workflow is in using the app:
FileMaker has a limited amount of controls. The visual hierarchy in your screenshot can be improved. I like to have one level vertical and then the secondary level horizontal or vice versa.
Below is the latest iteration of the interface of my Setup window:
