APPLICATION_​QUERY slows down moveable hotspots

[Joachim Sühlo]

I have 2 APPLICATION_QUERYs in Master Script for user image files.
In 2D I have moveable hotspots which are extremly slow.
I wondered what the reason was and found out that it where those APPLICATION_QUERYs.
If I comment them out, hotspots move very fast.
If I write “IF GLOB_FEEDBACK_MODE = 0” before the queries,
the hotspots are moving a bit faster, but not as fast as normal.
Is there any way to get the normal speed and keeping the queries in the script?

Hm, what are you doing with the result? If it is stored as an array in a parameter, you might still use it GLOB_FEEDBACK_MODE.

What ArchiCADLibrary does is it calls the request in ARCHICAD_Library_Master (in subtype “Library Master”), which is only run when the library is loaded. The results are set with VALUES to a parameter. All libparts that have the same parameter get their values from the Library Master.

The script part I use is:

! ———————————————————————- !
! ————— C u s t o m p i c t u r e f i l e r e q u e s t
! ———————————————————————- !

IF GLOB_FEEDBACK_MODE = 0 THEN

dim stCustomPicFiles[]
bCustomPicFileExist = APPLICATION_QUERY (“LIBRARY_MANAGER”, “USER_IMAGE_FILES”, stCustomPicFiles)

p_num = VARDIM1(stCustomPicFiles)

DIM stCustomPicFiles_with_prefix[]
si = 1
int_num_prefix = STRLEN(str_prefix)

IF (str_prefix # ” ” AND str_prefix # “”) THEN
FOR i = 1 TO p_num
IF STRSUB(stCustomPicFiles[i], 1, int_num_prefix) = str_prefix THEN
stCustomPicFiles_with_prefix[si] = stCustomPicFiles[i]
si = si + 1
ENDIF
NEXT i
ELSE
stCustomPicFiles_with_prefix = stCustomPicFiles
ENDIF

p_num = VARDIM1(stCustomPicFiles_with_prefix)

ENDIF

Are you changing any parameter based on stCustomPicFiles_with_prefix? Is it used as VALUES?

Yes:
IF p_num > 0 THEN VALUES “str_bildwahl” stCustomPicFiles_with_prefix

I am not sure, maybe it is related to the VALUES command, but that is just a wild guess.
Maybe you could try CUSTOM_POPUP_INFIELD in the UI script, then VALUES is not needed, and the UI script surely isn’t run in feedback mode.
