i made an application for serial communication. for this application i need to set delay time. during this delay time i m doing some other task. So for those task i need to take back control from delay function, for this purpose i am unsing Doevents() function.Its work fine On other OS (XP, Windows7 32/64-bit). But Application.DoEvents() function halt and crash in windows vista.

I'm using fileopen() function to open the file, after doing all the works I'm using fileclose() to close the file. But when I access the file again it returns already the file is opened by another process.
Sample:

FileOpen(intFile, mstrFilename, OpenMode.Binary, OpenAccess.Read, OpenShare.LockWrite)
FileClose(intFile)
I'm currently working on a school project and I have stumbled upon various problems. I'm supposed to write a software tool based on a mathematical model.
In total, the model has 12 parameters and 2 constants used in it, so I figured it would be a good idea to store the parameters in 2 separate arrays - one containing 6 parameters which have to be entered by the user and another one with another 6 parameters which should only be changed in a settings kind of window for tweaking (they are set to default values provided by the model).[code]...

I'm trying to make sure that I don't leave any loose ends open in my application and am concerned about a few but might get my answer from this one. I've "overriden" some functions so that way I can try and keep all the resources as clean and free as possible. So in this instance, I have a function called ExecuteReader which returns a DbDataReader as normal, but all I had to pass to it was a SQL string rather than recreating a DbCommand every time. I want to make sure that even though I'm unable to call dbCommand.Dispose() that it is actually doing so.
[code...]
In here, I set the _dbReader to what I'd get from the function and eventually I close the _dbReader. I do not close the connection as I don't open it each time I make a query. This is a SQLite database that only one user will be using at a time (small application with very very very little likeliness it will grow) so I didn't think it necessary to close and open the connection all the time. Maybe I'm wrong, not sure. Using it this way though, it is potentially ok for cleaning resources?

Usually we can open a bitmap using this[code...]
the following code however keeps the Image File locked until the application is running, any suggestions how to dispose it properly. (So that no handle is left open )
Things i already tried: use dispose method of bitmap <= doesnt work (need to write implementation)

in VB6 when I was doing a loop I wrote DoEvents in the loop to continue with other events.
I 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>

I 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 RepliesMy 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?
I 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

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".
I'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.

I 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.
