wha up peeps, any one had any tips on how to stop a program from freezing, like this program i made

http://imfiles.com/downloadview-deta ... #dldetails

The problem I am having is that when lets say the user chooses the 10 seconds brake between each message, And when the program is in action and they decide to stop it it freezes.

lol dont know it got to do with some timer thing, like when the process start is hard to stop or some shit, dont know

so is there some thing i can put like between each message here is the code anyways for the 10 seconds message brake in a timer

Code: Select all

If Check1.Value = 1 Then
Call RoomSend(RichTextBox1.TextRTF)
DoEvents
Sleep 10000
End If
If Check2.Value = 1 Then
Call RoomSend(RichTextBox2.TextRTF)
DoEvents
Sleep 10000
End If
If Check3.Value = 1 Then
Call RoomSend(RichTextBox3.TextRTF)
DoEvents
Sleep 10000
End If
If Check4.Value = 1 Then
Call RoomSend(RichTextBox4.TextRTF)
DoEvents
Sleep 10000
End If
If Check5.Value = 1 Then
Call RoomSend(RichTextBox5.TextRTF)
DoEvents
Sleep 10000
End If

Thanks

Lol I think I fix went to

http://vbforums.com/showthread.php?s=&t ... eeze+timer

And found this cool code

Basically I added this code

Code: Select all

Sub Delay(ByVal nSeconds As Single)
    Dim nStart As Single
   
    nStart = Timer
   
    Do
        DoEvents
    Loop Until Timer - nStart >= nSeconds
End Sub


Then I change the timer code to this

Code: Select all

If Check1.Value = 1 Then
Call RoomSend(RichTextBox1.TextRTF)
DoEvents
Call Delay(10)
End If
If Check2.Value = 1 Then
Call RoomSend(RichTextBox2.TextRTF)
DoEvents
Call Delay(10)
End If
If Check3.Value = 1 Then
Call RoomSend(RichTextBox3.TextRTF)
DoEvents
Call Delay(10)
End If
If Check4.Value = 1 Then
Call RoomSend(RichTextBox4.TextRTF)
DoEvents
Call Delay(10)
End If
If Check5.Value = 1 Then
Call RoomSend(RichTextBox5.TextRTF)
DoEvents
Call Delay(10)
End If

Yess it doesnt freeses nomore

yeah it was the acutall sleep command..

the sleep command tells windows to basically ignore the application for that amount of time and give it no CPU time.

the other "Delay" allows you to skip doing stuff until the "time" is up..

basically thats what the difference between the two..

lol

yeps with the first one, it always freeze, so it was a life saver

Try to Debug point cursor on loop then debug it
