Re: DoEvents Alternatives

the workaround doesn't solve it.
DoEvents makes the program execution loops in the mouse_move event and outs
only if the user clicks on any part of the screen. To solve this situation I
had to disable the mouse_move event on the control itself.

I don't want to use the DoEvents because it sometimes makes errors
with the transparent usercontrol I created, it causes the execution
enter the mouse_move event
BUG: Phantom MouseMove Events with a Transparent UserControl
(http://support.microsoft.com/kb/192003)

does the workaround provided in that article not solve it? maybe
disabling
that specific control before calling doevents will prevent the problem.
as
a last resort set a flag variable, call doevents and clear the flag and
have
the control ignore any mouse events while the flag is set.
