I'm not sure what happened here but this dialog box has gone from extremely slow to unusable.
Sure, I'm on a network but that shouldn't matter. My local box is the initial folder and it's a normal, regular, business level working machine with a few hundred files in some folders and more/less in others. NO FOLDERS with shocking numbers of files... Yet this takes 2-4 MINUTES to load:
If Me.dialogOpenFolder.ShowDialog() = DialogResult.OK Then
FolderName = Me.dialogOpenFolder.FileName
Else
FolderName = ""
End If
The only other time this dialog is references is in FormLoad and here's that reference:
dialogOpenFolder.OpenFolderDialogForm.ThemeName = Windows8Theme1.ThemeName
I'd love to continue using this control since visually its light-years ahead of the built-in Folder Select dialog box...but as stated its unusable.
Is there *ANYTHING* I can do to speed this up? It feels like its going out there and collecting all folder data from my entire network (which is massive) - can this be turned off or WISIWIG?
Any help would be lovely :)
