[Showcase] Efficient ScriptBlox Implementation

thanks for feedback, I will now try to beat you >:)

yeah and then i had to scrap comet 5 :sadge:

I know right now its just for testing, thanks though

What's wrong with having a search button??

@Akula Its just more convenient to have it just search after seeing that the textbox in the searchbar has changed just scroll down a little to my other relpy and you will see what I mean

@ItsNitro that's precisely the issue, it is convenient yet it's more so convenient to have a search button. having it search on textchanged using a dispatcher or whatever is literally what leads to some of these performance issues. better just have a search button, maybe 3 top results WHILE searching in a dropdown, and then also searching using enter in keyboard..

@Akula well yeah if your a sped and just plug the search function straight into the textbox changed function but you can just add a dely in so it must wait a little bit after the textbox changes and if it changes again within the time limit it will cancel the search so its not searching after every actual text change I just use something like this 

public ScriptHub()
        {
            InitializeComponent();
            _searchTimer = new DispatcherTimer();
            _searchTimer.Interval = TimeSpan.FromMilliseconds(250);
            _searchTimer.Tick += OnSearchTimerTickAsync;
            LoadScripts();
            
        }

On Initialize^^^

private void SearchBox_TextChanged(object sender, TextChangedEventArgs e)
        {
            _searchTimer.Stop();
            _searchTimer.Start();
        }
private void OnSearchTimerTickAsync(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
            _searchTimer.Stop();
            Search();
        }

On textbox change of the search bar giving a 250 milisecond dely after search^^^^

Thank you, your work is good too!

heya, it seems like you're really focused on WinForms, and that can make it harder to achieve what you're trying to do. The reason is that you want to dynamically load scripts based on content retrieved from HttpClient or online from the ScriptBlox site. In WinForms, this can be done since it's handled in C#. However, the challenge lies in visually representing this data. You'll need a style for ContentControl, Grid, and other elements, so you can use data binding or simply feed text, images, etc., into a UserControl using X style. Or apply style to dynamically generated grid and load that in. So you can then load it into a WrapPanel (user can then see all the scripts). But doing all this in WinForms isn't as easy because it has more limitations and is inflexible when designing things, for databinding, and other such functionalities. Hope this clears things up for you.

@Akula yeah, I've actually been experimenting with wpf for 3 days now, and I gotta say it's great.
Thanks for explaining, in WinForms maybe I could find a workaround, but I think I'm actually going to switch to wpf.

I've actually used wpf months ago, and even made a whole ui, but i disliked how hard things were to do.
Anyway, now, I actually quite enjoy making styles.
