Hi,
I am using an object oriented framework within IDL for user interface
representation for a complex system.
I find that it takes some time (about 10 seconds) to load up my
software primarily because the widget base takes some time to realize.
Is it widget realization slower when using objects in IDL?
regards,
Cartik

Most ugly unexplained delays in IDL tend to relate to the automatic
path searching IDL does to locate new routines (and class definition
files, etc.). Take a close look at your IDL path, and make sure it
doesn't send IDL scurrying all over the hard drive just to find a
newly invoked routine. This can cause big delays.

Thanks for your reply.
I cut loose all hardware subsystems connected to my IDL app, and timed
GUI realization this time using,
oldTime=SYSTIME(/SECONDS)
## Realize GUI
timeElapsed=SYSTIME(/SECONDS)-oldTime
timeElapsed turns out to be 5.6890001 seconds, (just feels like a 10
second wait:)).
As per your input, I'm going to use a 'progress bar' kind of set up to
my app to prioritize object loading.
