After sitting with Mark W. for an hour over lunch yesterday I was able to both understand the role of acceleratedRendering and the best usage of it. It turns out that the order of when these commands are used is of utmost importance. I have been rewriting my code and have an instant increase in

Tom, Thanks for the info. Very useful. I haven't actually tried any of this yet, but is there still a problem where the screen flashes when toggling acceleratedRendering on/off in preOpenCard and closeCard? I was seeing this a couple months back, so I'm curious if that still exists. I haven't

Just wanted to share a couple other key points Tom and I discussed after lunch today: The object of the control you are setting the dynamic or scrolling property of MUST be a toplevel control. IOW, the *parent* of the control MUST be the card. So, you can't accelerate objects within groups, but ra

I just checked this in LC 5.5.1 to make sure, and there is still a bug that exists where the screen will flash when toggling acceleratedRendering if you're moving from card to card using a visual effect. A ticket has already been submitted. The way around it is to set the property in a handler,
