Which of these loops to get a particular type of tag on an object is faster (if there's any difference)?for (pt = obj->GetFirstTag(); pt; pt = pt->GetNext()) { if (!pt->IsInstanceOf(ID_IPPDIALTAG)) continue;- OR -
for (LONG nr = 0; pt = obj->GetTag(ID_IPPDIALTAG, nr); nr++) {Thanks,

The second one is kind of misused. The GetTag command will loop internally until it finds a tag of this type, so there´s no need for a loop.
It should therefore also be faster than the first one.

Well, there is a need for a loop if you are getting 'all' of the similar tags on an object.
That's why I ask since the most expedience in traversing a set of particular tags is required.In this case, do you think that the first or second is more expedient?
Thanks,

I'd guess that the first is O(n) and the second O(n^2). So the first one should win.

Is this because GetTag() initiates its own loop to traverse up to the next valid tag? If so, then time for some updating.
Thanks!

That seems to settle it. There were something like 90+ of the GetTag() loops and all were replaced with the other type. The results definitely showed an improvement in speed.
Thank you very much - sometimes purile, but it is easier to ask and take advice than to change large areas of code blindly.

IT would be great if GetTag() would return the location of the found tag. That way one could go on from this position+1 to get the next tag in the row of the same type.
Take this as a suggestion Mikael
