Re: threading question

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry

I think the OP was thinking in the ways of VB6--, that is, if you have a
long running loop, free the processor for other applications to have a whack
at it. Message loops weren't the only reason you used doevents.

Ben's post was right on I think in response. When you have a long running
process play nice with the other processes around you. Either go off the
radar long enough for others to have a whack (Sleep(0)), or sit there
quietly for a while and wait (Sleep(n)).

is there a alternative to doevents() for threads

In my Case there is no UI

the time
