Hi,
I have a batchprocess, quite simple but can be long.
In short :
***
sTxt=fReadline(x)
while sTxt<>EOT
Control = sTxt{{to 10}} //show something on screen
Multitask()
DoUpdateFiles()
sTxt=fReadline(x)
END
***
It's working, but the 'Control Update' and the Multitask() uses
a lot of time. So I was thinking to let the user decide if (s)he
wants to see where the program is or if speed is more important.
So:
***
sTxt=fReadline(x)
gbDisplay = false
while sTxt<>EOT
//to let the user 'click a button or checkbox, while processing
CallDLL32("user32","UpdateWindow",handle())
if calldll32("user32","GetInputState") then
multitask(-1)
END
if gbDisplay then
Control = sTxt{{to 10}} //show something on screen
Multitask()
end
DoUpdateFiles()
sTxt=fReadline(x)
END
***
In the beginning it's working, but after a while, when 'gbDisplay' is false
(so more speed in processing), then the program is 'not responding', while in
fact is still working. But the user can not do anything anymore (can not put
the 'gbDisplay' to true by clicking a button) while the process is running.
Question:
Does somebody have an idea how to acclompish that an enduser can change
the "Display_YES - Display_NO" switch, while process is running, without
having the problems i mentioned.
TIA,
Peter |

Try add a line of code as below:
if gbDisplay then
gbDisplay = false //Toggle off
Control = sTxt{{to 10}} //show something on screen
Multitask()
end
//
