Display text using labels -- very slow
-
I'm working on a bible project. Part of it is to display bible verses on screen. Given that the bible text are in different formats (some are italics, some are in red, ...). I tried using labels to display them. But if one chapter has 80 verses, I would have to create at least 80 labels. This is very slow - could take 15-20 seconds to display. Apart from using labels, is there any other efficient way to handle text display? Thanks!!

Graphics.DrawString()Here is something to get you started:class CustomDrawControl : Control
{
protected override void OnPaint(PaintEventArgs e)
{
e.Graphics.DrawString("blah blah", Font, Brushes.Red, e.ClipRectangle);
}
}**

Thanks! Since I'm new to C#, can you be more specific? Do I use graphics instead for each text in those labels I created?

You could use the RichTextBox[^] control. It supports formatting.

I have taken a look at it. But how can the drawstring be changed? How is the "tabPage1.paint += new System.Windows.Forms.PaintEventHandler(tabPage1_paint)" triggered? -- modified at 3:58 Tuesday 30th May, 2006

But would RichTextBox control be as slow as label control? Someone suggested using paint control. Do you know how to do that?

The rtb should be much faster than dynamically creating a mess of labels. Paint isn't a control, it's an event for your form. It's more flexible, but if you're a beginner the price in increased effort needed to use is probably not worth it.
I managed to displayed text by using graphic object. g = tabPage1.CreateGraphics(); g.DrawString(text, fnt, brsh, x, y); g.Dispose(); I used labels before and the tabPage was scrollable (tabPage.AutoScroll = true). But now it is not scrollable any more and thus those text at the bottom are missing from the tabPage. Do you know why? -- modified at 11:48 Tuesday 30th May, 2006
