Opening Multiple Files

Post by jeffp »

I was wondering if there was a way to speed up the opening of multiple files. Currently, if I drop say 10 files onto the ViewerAX interface, each file is opened one right after another. It appears that the ViewerAX has to do some UI painting/initialization for each file which seems to slow down the process.

It would be nice if only the first file was initialized and stayed selected, and then only display a tab for any subsequent files.

I'm not sure what goes on when each files is opened, but in a multi file context, there may be some UI/initialization overhead that can be eliminated when only one of the ten files will actually be displayed at the end.

I also open multiple files in code so if there is some way to do the above, it would be nice to have some flag to set on opening a document in code as well.

Thoughts?

Hi, jeffp.

No way for this in current implementation.
But we working on new version of our ActiveX SDK (V3) and you will be able to do it in the new version, please wait...
