Why does the GridView fire the Draw Event continuously ?

[Claus Dietrich <claus.dietrich@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi

Today I implemented A GridView in one of my apps and found that it 
caused a CPU load of up to 80%. The App slowed down to an unacceptable 
level. This mini program with a GridView demonstrates it:

Public Sub Form_Open()

    GridView1.Columns.Count = 1
    GridView1.Rows.count = 3

End

Public Sub GridView1_Draw(X As Integer, Y As Integer, Width As Integer, 
Height As Integer, Row As Integer, Column As Integer)

  Print Time
  GridView1[Row, Column].Text = "Hello"

End

It shows, that the draw event is triggered continuously (here about 
2.500 times per second) with a very high CPU load.

This issue was already brought up in the recent ML thread "Data event of 
TableView" a few days ago. I am wondering why this is regarded as 
"normal". Why does the Gridview fire the draw event continuously? This 
makes no sense to me. Is this Draw Event different than Draw Events of 
other controls?

Best regards
