I have a problem: in my application I get some event-related information, so for event x I should get a form window in which I do some sort of things (enter some text and click on a button)
My problem is that for my application there is a 10,000 user objects limit (as for all c# apps), and for my existing code there are already 3000 user objects occupied (so that leaves around 7000 user objects free). I receive from 200 clients info about events regarding some stuff going on each of the clients.
When I receive info about an event from a client I would like to somehow display this as a label in an event log window and when I click on the label the specific form window (that I mentioned earlier) should pop-up so that I may enter some text and click on a button.
I need to be able to display this event log window efficiently (because I could receive up to 1000 events from every client and if every label in this log occupies 1 object that means that for every client there will be 1000 objects (max, but possible) so I would exceed very much my 10000 limit).
How can I do something about it efficiently?
Currently for every event I launch a form window in which I enter text and click on a button but this is not efficient (because my form window occupies already 3 user objects and if I have a max 3 * 200 clients * 1000 user object i exceed my 7000 limit by far).
I struggle to see how you can get thousands of windows from a user interface like this. If you create one label control for each individual notification then, yes, this can get badly out of hand in a hurry. Makes it dreadfully slow too.
Don’t use label controls, use a ListBox, ListView, TreeView or DataGridView. Controls that can display multiple items but only consume a single window handle.
