PC Win: OLE Object Redraws Slowly in Message

 Last reviewed: October 29, 1994
Article ID: Q86090
The information in this article applies to:
  • Microsoft Mail for Windows, versions 3.0, 3.0b, and 3.2

SYMPTOMS

When you compose a message in version 3.0, 3.0b, or 3.2 of Microsoft Mail for Windows that contains an object linking and embedding (OLE) object with text above and below it, the screen redraws of the OLE object may be very slow.

STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in versions 3.0, 3.0b, and 3.2 of Microsoft Mail for Windows. We are researching this problem and will post new information here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.

MORE INFORMATION

Steps to Reproduce Problem

  1. Compose a message.

  2. Enter about half a page of text.

  3. From the Edit menu, choose Insert Object and select Paintbrush Picture.

  4. From Paintbrush, create a new picture.

  5. Close Paintbrush and when prompted to Update, choose Yes.

  6. Continue to enter text until the inserted object has scrolled off the top of the page.

  7. Using the mouse, grab the scroll bar thumb and drag it up slowly.

When the Paintbrush object appears on the screen, it redraws each time the message is scrolled one line, which makes scrolling very slow.
