Menu speed

[ken gray]

ive got a menu that has 111 line and it can be a little sluggish when i first open it or when i havent opened it for a while. is there a way i can force it to stay in memory (like maybe forcing it to open but without seeing it).

thanks.

Slowly extracts icons, especially from big exe files. If it is a toolbar, you can set "Quick Icons" option, which saves the image list to a file and next time quickly loads it instead of extracting icons from multiple files. If it is a menu, you can try to save all icons to an icl file, and then use

Item1 :command * icons.icl * 1
Item2 :command * icons.icl * 2
...

Or save to ico files.

Another tip - use submenus. Icons are not extracted until they are displayed.

"Slowly extracts icons, especially from big exe files."
would this be what is happening when it's pulling the program's icon to display ie Dreamweaver?

Yes.

WOW!!!!hock: hock: hock: hock:
I went through and used a freeware program to extract all of the icons in my "Progam Files" folders and and manually assigned the icons in for each item in my pop-up menu and WOW!!!! It's real snappy now!!!

thanks!!!
