GridFloatCellsMode.BeforeDisplayCalculation performance

[Rodrigo Vedovato]

Hi everyone!

Here's my scenario: I have a virtual grid that is updated in a high frequency and needs to support floating cells. If I set FloatingCellsMode to GridFloatCellsMode.BeforeDisplayCalculation, everything works as expected, but (in CPU terms) setting the FloatingCellsMode property to OnDemandCalculation is 10x faster.

I solved some issues by, when a cell is updated, calling the FloatingCells.DelayFloatCells and FloatingCells.EvaluateFloatingCells respectively before and after updating the cell, but some scenarios still have problems.

The question is: in a high frequency update scenario, is OnDemandCalculation really the only option or is there any way to make BeforeDisplayCalculation faster?

Regards,

Hi Rodrigo, 

Thanks for using Syncfusion products. 

The mentioned performance difference between OnDemandCalculation and BeforeDisplayCalculation is the expected behavior. BeforeDisplayCalculation is used to force the float cells to always be calculated, but OnDemandCalculation mode calculates the float cells only when any changes are done to that cells, so performance difference between these properties are expected. We suggest you to use OnDemandCalculation mode for updating grid in high frequency.
