The continue statement in C is used to exit a for, while or do
loop in C.

To do the same thing in VB...

For i = 1 to 1000
  'do main stuff inside of loop
  'check window status...
  '...
  If (hWnd = 0) Then Exit For
  If key = vbKeyEscape Then Exit For
  DoEvents
Next i

It seems as if most folks indicate to use "continue" sparingly...
in the C programming language, and to only use it in top level
loops.

Wonder what's up with Apple?

I am changing a program from C to VB. It is quite easy,
but I have not found a good way to do a "continue" from
C's for loop
e.g
if( hWnd==0 ) continue;
tia.
