Winform thread question

[eHaviv]

Hi

I have a form with one button
and one textbox

In the button event I set a boolean
flag that also exists in another form method that control a loop (exit from loop)

My question is this control is ok
If not what I need to do.

Thank you.

With referencve to your originalthread222-1798177, incorrectly posted in the VB Classic forum

The code is somewhat ugly and cumbersome, but that's neither here nor there - your primary issue us that you have a non-yielding loop (LengthyTask),which, once entered, blocks the UI thread and does not allow any Windows messages to be processed - such a clicking a button. Simplest way to deal with this is to add an

[tt]Application.DoEvents[/tt]

just before the End While, like this:

[blue] Public Sub LengthyTask()
        While True
            If flag Then
                Exit While
            End If
            [COLOR=#F57900]Application.DoEvents()[/color]
        End While
        MsgBox("TextBox1.Text = " & TextBox1.Text)
    End Sub[/blue]

Note that your code may well still do some slightly odd things, particularly since this fix will now allow reentrancy ...
