VS 2010 : Use A Stop Button To Stop A Loop?
Dec 7, 2009
I created a form and have the variable inputs for 4 motor run statements. Then with a start button the script starts and it is surrounded by a for next statement to loop 10 times. It works fine but if i need to stop the execution of the script with a stop button. I put the stop in a new section but of course does not work to do a motor stop. It just causes the exe to not respond till the loop is complete. Just need to be able to stop the Run1_Click button section.
Edit:I do not mind if it finishes the 4 motor run commands and then stops execution of the loop. So need to figure out a way to trigger a stop from a button on the form to stop the cycle. For the future the loop will be a variable integer input so 10 will not be the standard.
Edit::Does a ' Do ' statement sound like the thing to use? If so how and where would I place that? Have a Stop button on the form and it would stop after the 4th motor run command.
#End Region
Declare Function InitStp Lib "stp.dll" () As Integer
Declare Function RunMotor1 Lib "stp.dll" (ByVal steps As Integer, ByVal interval As Integer, ByVal direction As Integer, ByVal outputs As Integer) As Boolean

I am using VB 2010 , I have a loop that takes something like 5 minutes until it's finish. I want to allow the user the option to stop it in the middle or whenever they want. There's a button which starts the loop, and after I click it the loop starts running and the button is sort of "stuck".I saw something called "background work" in the VB Toolbox, can it be a solution to my problem?

Alright, so I'm still working on the slot machine. I have three timers all independently going for my three "wheels" of the slot machine.
My issue, is that I'm trying to make a Stop button to stop each timer one at a time, and I'm not understanding why this code isn't working. The logic completely makes sense, and the first "wheel" stops when I click the button, however, it doesnt appear to stop the other two timers.

I am fairly new to VB but really enjoying programming. I'm looking to create a counter that counts to 25 and loops back around again with a button control and another button control to stop it. So I press a button to start and another to stop and I want it to display the number it stopped on. Is this possible? and how do I do it if it is? I can figure out how to display the label and create a simple counter(that doesn't loop), but I'm unsure on the rest.

I have a START and STOP button and when the user clicks "start" the program does a whole bunch of calculations and all. However, I noticed that when I was testing the program I clicked STOP the program continues to execute stuff.
My START code is basically a while loop that iteratively does some calculations.
So I just put a boolean variable as the while condition and when user clicks stop its set to false and when user clicks start its set to true. However, when I click stop, the condition is set to false yes but it still executes all the code until the condition is re-evaluated right...so my question is how can I get out of the while loop when user instantly clicks "stop"?

I am working on an app and I am a bit confused w/ threading. I understand the point of threading but I am not getting when to use a background worker thread vs. a standard thread vs. a thread pool. Can someone shed some light on when to use which? Right now, I am trying code an app that does stuff initially in a sequential order and then eventually must thread (otherwise it takes forever). The problem I am having w/ the sequential stuff (and threading later) is that I need a button to be able to stop execution of code. [Code]
I did the background worker on this first sequential operation because when I tried w/ out it, the text box didn't update at all until the web page contents were retrieved. Basically, the text box change of "Starting." doesn't show up until the web page is finished processing even though the assignment to the text box happens before that code.

I have written a function that gets the alexa ranking of a given url, now this function works perfectly but I want to loop through a ListView of urls and grab the alexa rank of each item (url) with my function.The code works great if I put a MessageBox in the loop to test that the function is returning a value but when I remove the MessageBox the loop does not work.I need it to loop through adding each result without a MessageBox stop in each loop.

For Each Item In ListView1.Items
Dim result As Integer
result = GetAlexaRank(Item.Text)

As this Loops round, the answer for formula will eventually become the same as what was input, X. How can I get the Loop to stop when it has the same answer twice in a row? The counter will count how many times it has had to Loop before finding the repeated answer.

I need to run a do while loop or some way of starting a search directory loop, then if a user presses another key, it will stop that current search, and restart with the next letter entered. I appreciate any help given and insight. I am basically trying an incremental search feature, but currently whenever a user types in one letter, it does a full search, then on next letter it searches again. I want it to stop if they are still typing in letters.
If SearchTextBox.Text <> "" Then

I would like to be able to stop a loop while executing using the ESC key.I've found a lot about using the above key from within a Form (for example, to unload it), but very little for the use of the key within a Procedure (Sub, Function) and particularly with respect of preventing a loop from carrying on execution.
