I've got a ToolStripStatusLabel with data loading in live, there is so much information coming through that it becomes unreadable.
Is there any double buffer function for this? I have tried the following:
public static void DoubleBufferedToolStripStatusLabel(this ToolStripStatusLabel tssl, bool setting)
{
Type dgvType = tssl.GetType();
PropertyInfo pi = dgvType.GetProperty("DoubleBuffered",
BindingFlags.Instance | BindingFlags.NonPublic);
pi.SetValue(tssl, setting, null);
}
How about only updating it every second, rather than every time it needs updating?
DateTime _lastUpdated = DateTime.MinValue;
void UpdateStatusLabel(string text)
{
if(DateTime.Now > _lastUpdate)
{
ToolStripStatusLabel.Text = text;
_lastUpdate = DateTime.Now + TimeSpan.FromSeconds(1);
}
}
