Does DoEvents Affect Only Current Thread?
Jun 7, 2011I have a simple 'Working' form that runs on its own thread to keep the user informed that the application hasn't died during long running operations. In order to get the working form to update I had to insert a DoEvents() call. I'm curious, will this only pump messages for the current thread I'm in, or will it do it for the whole application? I would prefer that the main window stay unresponsive till the operation finishes. Just to be clear, I'm fine with the code I have, but I would like to know how DoEvents() behaves with threads.
Below is the code for the working form.
Public Class frmWorking
''' <summary>
''' Creates and starts a new thread to handle the Working Dialog
''' </summary>
''' <returns>The thread of the Working dialog.</returns>

Hooking In To Application.DoEvents Method
Jul 25, 2009I am not very familiar with VB.NET so I don't know if this is possible.Some code I am working on is setting the properties of a very large class. In the setter of each property an event is raised to indicate that the class data has changed. An event handler then serializes the instance of the class to a database.Obviously I do not want this to happen after each property is set, so I need to either have a delay before saving, or something else.I am keeping a large list of instances in a cache implementation already, so one option would be to only process the cache every now and then and save all unsaved instances in cache to the database.So I tried to see if I could derive a class from Application (and override DoEvents), but it is NotInheritable, so no luck there.
View 3 RepliesNet Not Responding, Application.DoEvents And Threading?
Mar 8, 2009My mdi VB.Net application performs a long operation on some data. Ideally I should use a separate thread to prevent the dreaded "Not Responding" message.My problem is if I use a separate thread users then have the ability to click on other controls in the application which can directly affect the operation my background thread is working on, creating an error.
Is there any way to prevent all the mdi windows, toolbars and other controls from receiving mouse clicks and keyboard input during my background thread's operation?
Or is there a way to clear the message que before performing a Application.DoEvents?
VS 2008 Unable To Use An Application.DoEvents?
Dec 11, 2009I have a unique situation in that I've developed a VB.NET application for AutoCAD. The way this works, you build your project into a dll and utilize AutoCAD API references when designing the project. From AutoCAD, a "Netload" command will load your dll into it's namespace to run. AutoCAD then essentially takes ownership of your application from here on out. The application is ran using a command defined in a method's attribute:
<CommandMethod("CommandNameForApp")>Public Sub MyCommand()
'Code Here
End Sub
Due to the heavy load of processing loops as it evaluates AutoCAD drawing data, processes this data, and generates many, many Excel reports, I've added a boolean property called Cancelled to my Progress class. When the user cancel's the process, this is seen by the process and further evaluation is ended and everything is cleaned up nicely. In order for this to work though, I have to implement Application.DoEvents. Without it, the Cancel feature will not work at all. With it, now instead of allowing the application to stay loaded, the Command method is fully closed.I have added a go-to point and simply verify that the application isn't closing because of a user-cancellation event. Here's what it looks like now:
<CommandMethod("WireShop")> Public Sub WireShopApplication()
'Initialize Configuration File Data
'Initializes ValidBlocks, MarginDistance, WindowDistance, and HelpFileName Properties
If ConfigurationFileInitialization() = False Then Exit Sub
[code].....
In my opinion, this seems a little hokey. However, I'm not that familiar with exactly what Application.DoEvents is doing in the background to understand how to "head it off at the pass".
Application.doevents() Causing Some Sort Of Overlap?
Nov 9, 2009I'm trying to automate the process of logging into twitterfeed.com, and filling in the information (the feed url and twitter username are pulled from textboxes). I had it mostly working the other day, even if it is a bit sloppy (the only way I could get one button to click is to send 50-some tabs). However, lately it seems to enter in a sort of loop. When I pause the program, Visual Studio indicates that it is the Application.DoEvents in the Private Sub "wait" that is still running even after it should be.

VS 2010 An Extra Click To Get Out Of A While Loop Using .DoEvents() ?
Mar 15, 2012I wrote a small API gui to communicate over foundation fieldbus.I've used a While loop that constantly reads some parameter values from the bus. At the end of the While loop, I put Application.DoEvents()so that I can use another button to stop the reading process. It all seems good and easy.. but there's one problem: when I get the While loop running and wish to stop the process, I have to first click somewhere on the form, anywhere, before I could click any buttons(either 'stop reading' or 'reset' button mostly). That extra click makes my form seem unresponsive and lame.I wonder whether this is a problem pertaining to DoEvents() or my use of Foundation fieldbus.

Mar 4, 2010I'm running in to a problem that I was able to fix with Application.DoEvents, but don't want to leave that in because it might introduce all sorts of nasty problems. Background: Our app is primarily a desktop app that makes many calls to a web service. We control everything but changes to the overall system design are not going to be seriously considered. One of those calls, Calculate, is used very often, and occasionally can take a few minutes to process all the data to return valid results.

Calling DoEvents From Inside Custom Control Library
Sep 21, 2010I have a custom control's library. Now there's a control which looks like a panel, and when it opens up I want to animate its vertical growing like this:
For h As Single = 0 To finalHeight Step 0.5
Me.Height = CInt(h)
' HERE I WANT TO CALL DoEvents'
Next
Me.Height = finalHeight
If I don't call DoEvents in the loop then the animation is not shown, I only get the final height without a visual feedback along the way. I can call DoEvents from inside my main WinForm project, but can't inside a library. How can I do that, without drowning into the deep threads waters?
Forms :: DoEvents Or Update GUI While Database Query Is Running
Aug 11, 2011I have an application that performs database queries using "Imports System.Data.SqlClient". I want to display an animated GIF on the taskbar which spins while the query is running. However, during a query the application simply hangs and does not update the GUI until the query has finished, at which point the spinning icon is set to invisible anyway. Is there any way to force the GUI to update while the query runs?
View 2 RepliesC# - Stop Developers From Calling System.Windows.Forms.Application.DoEvents()?
Mar 15, 2009We just spent 300 man-hours fixing a buggy application in the field. It all came down to calling Application.DoEvents (re-entrancy problem).This was not caught in design reviews, code reviews.The code was inserted two years ago with the first version; the application was always "flaky" but recent changes exposed the re-entrancy problems to a greater degree. This incident is the second time in our organization that Application.DoEvents caused failures and multi-man hours of debugging.It was discovered in this case by simply noticing the call,buried way down in a complex event handler for an asynchronous task.What do you suggest to prevent this issue from happening again:
Add checkin gates to source control?
Developer training?
Code Analysis rules (why is this not already a built-in rule?)
How to I enforce a coding practice?
Application Does Not Return From Call To System.Windows.Forms.Application.DoEvents?
Aug 2, 2011I have a windows forms application written in VB.NET which scrapes information from serveral web pages (who doesn't right)? Anyway, I am having problem with one particular site where partway through the page navigation my application hangs. When I press pause (or break) in the debugger, it stops on a call to System.Windows.Forms.Application.DoEvents.
Resuming execution shows that it really is stuck on this line (it does not reach the next line of code). It also hangs about the same point each time I run it (at least its consistent). Since System.Windows.Forms.Application.DoEvents yields to other threads on the same processor and then resumes execution of the current thread, I think the problem is that some other thread is not behaving well (not returning from some event handling code). I thought Windows 7 was pre-emptive, which makes me
doubt that theory but I really don't know.
[Code]...
The program scrapes somewhere between 12 and 14 pages before it gets stuck on the call to DoEvents. Does anyone have a clue why this would happen? Why would any call to DoEvents hang?
