Performance Issues

[Clint Singer]

Hi,

I have started developing an application using the RadControls for WPF framework and have noticed that the performance of the docking and map controls aren't very good.  When I drag the docking windows they are slow to respond to my mouse moves.  The map is also also slow to respond to my panning actions in that the map is trailing quite a bit my mouse moves.

I don't have much in my application.  Just the ribbon with 3 tabs and 1 group each (at the moment), the rad docking with a map in one of the panes and two other panes with Rad grids without any rows.

I am running a Core i7 so it should be fairly snappy, certainly if VS2010 is any indication of how fast a WPF application can be.

Cheers,
Clint

Hello Clint,

Straight to the questions:

1. The Docking control is using a big transparent window to host its ToolWindows and compasses and this causes performance problems especially on higher resolution and multiple monitors. We are planning to target this problem, but its cause is deep in the architecture of the Docking control (it was initially developed for Silverlight where there are no windows floating out of the application area) and this makes the problem hard to fix. The fix is scheduled for one of our further releases. Sorry for any inconvenience caused.
2. We haven't faced such issue with RadMap before. Could you check if this issue happens with Map outside of Docking control?
