Hi,
I have inherited a large complex dynamic form with multiple drop down lists populated from WSDL requests when the docReady event is triggered. It presently takes over 20 seconds to load the form, during which time either nothing or a blank form is displayed. I have been tasked with improving the loading time and I have discovered that the WSDL part of the start up is very quick.
I have found the culprit: xfa.host.remerge(); It takes over 12 seconds to completely remerge the data with the form. Which feels a bit of a heavy handed way to make the drop down lists recognise that they now have data.
If I remove the xfa.host.remerge() command the form starts up in a under ten seconds, which is the sort of performance that is required. But the drop down lists are not populated.
I have spent a couple of days pouring over the forums with no joy.
So my question is two fold, is there a better way to load the drop down lists with WSDL data so they find the data, and if not, is there a way to make the drop down lists in question refresh without touching the whole form?
