I have a D2006 app that contains a page control and various grids, etc on the tabs. When I resize the main form (which ripples through and resizes just about everything on the form that is aligned to something), I experience long delays, like several seconds. The app freezes, the idle handler is not called and running threads appear to suspend also.

I have tries pausing execution in the IDE while this is happening in an attempt to break execution while it is in the troublesome code, but the IDE is not taking messages.

Obviously I’m not expecting anyone to point me at some errant piece of code, but I’m after debugging approaches that might help me. I have extensive execution timing code throughout the app, and the long delays don’t show up in any of the data. For example, the execution time of the main form OnResize handler is minimal.

    If you want to find out what’s actually taking up your time, try a profiler. Sampling Profiler could answer your question pretty easily, especially if you’re able to find the beginning and the end of the section of code that’s causing trouble and insert OutputDebugString statements around it to narrow down the profiling.
