But there is one difference. When you go to the mechanic you are willing pay him to fix your tire. Most likely the mechanic will want your money and will gladly fix your tire. > Defining the listboxes in the form editor was just the way I did it in the > past. > Also putting listboxes stacked on top of each other is something I am doing > frequently > Because I had to modify the listboxes on a regular basis (add columns in > request of users) I decided to create them programmatically > Why does 4D implement all these new (listbox) object commands? I think just > for this reason to create all things programmatically This is obviously a command that needs some attention and most likely can be optimized to make it faster. Apparently in all the development and testing when creating this command nobody ever used it to the high level that you are and noticed the poor performance. >> 1.

So you know the drill… Submit a bug report with all your details so that 4D knows there is a performance problem. Remember, talking about it here will not cause 4D to take any action. Second, go to 4D Forums and create a feature request to speed up LISTBOX INSERT COLUMN. Show your examples of how slow it is. Wouldn’t it be nice if 4D offered a service — like the mechanic — where you could say, "what would you charge me to fix this 4D problem”. And if the price was right, you would pay them and you could have this problem fixed quickly. But, as we all know, that is not the world that we live in. The only way to get something done is to get 4D Engineering’s attention so that they will assign someone to go work on this command and make it faster.
