Performance of text update in Visio

[Mikhail Fishbeyn]

In my application I need to update up 100 text fields per second. Each text
field is a simple visio rectangle. The update takes almost 100% of CPU time.
I could not find a way to improve performance. So I am considering to draw
text over visio rectangles using GDI+. I would appriciate if anybody can
suggest a better solution?


Thanks,

Mikhail Fishbeyn

Are you setting the text in shapes directly, or are you setting custom
properties in the rectangle and using text fields to display those
properties?

I already faced this situation. Updating of text is very heavy process. I
was able to increase performance by disabling update using

VisioApplication.ShowChanges = false (before starting of your update
process)
VisioApplication.ShowChanges = true (after finishing your process)

Let me know if you still facing this issue. As we are also refreshing our
display field text (visio shape) in very large quantity in our application.
This is my msn messenger and you can chat me too.
