In modifying an older program, I have run across an instance where in
the middle of a LOOP I need to stop and monitor a LISTBOX and deal
with users selecting stuff in the listbox, doing some other stuff,
then continuing the loop again when finished.
I seem to remember a command that did something like this. I can't
remember what it is and am having trouble finding it in my books.
So far all I can think of is to set a BOOLEAN value in this sort of
fashion:
do while boolean=true
doevents
loop
This could possibly let me execute event code like LISTBOX_CLICK
until I set the boolean=false, but I am sure I remember reading about
another way to do it...
Also, I wanted to mention to all of you that have helped me,
especially a year ago when I really needed it (worse), Shawn, Matt,
Don, Ian, and others I can't recall off-hand, thanks. I hope I
haven't scared you off with my verboseness. I know you guys know
what you're doing so I don't even bother with other groups. Even if
you just give me a link or something it helps.
You probably can't tell from my recent posts, but those past projects
were very successfull and I might even be able to get a "real" job
programming some day. I just never learned the "right" way to do it,
mainly due to never having any real training (unless you count pascal
in high school, GWBASIC, and quick basic) so a lot of my questions
are elementary, although my coding prowess isn't necessarily so
(LOL). I wish I could dictate the time contraints for a project
(ie. "Sure I can do that, $50/hr, 10hrs minimum, more if I need it!),
but unfortunately I find myself getting a project done in the hours I
am told to have it done, which doesn't really allow me much room for
the "professional" touches you guys suggest. I think my boss is
starting to understand when it takes as long to "straighten up" a
program as it did to initially write it maybe he should give me some
more time, or at least warn me a little sooner when he needs a
particular program.
Anyway, because of your help, my programs are replacing the software
my company has been leasing and I am saving them lots of money,
although I don't get any of it, but at least I can say I did it.
Thanks to you.
