DoEvents Equiv in VC++
-
Ok, it's 11:00pm and I've been slinging code in front of this puter all day. What I can't remember is, what's the equivalent of a DoEvents for VC? What I need to do is to have the display refresh and respond to events while in a loop. VB uses DoEvents to do this. Just can't think this late at night. Anybody wanna bail me out? Thanks, Nick

To refresh the screen, call Invalidate(). To respond to events while in a loop you should really have a UI thread and a worker thread. Otherwise the loop will stop the GUI from responding. Christian I have come to clean zee pooollll. - Michael Martin Dec 30, 2001

while (GetMessage(&msg, NULL, 0, 0))
{
TranslateMessage(&msg);
DispatchMessage(&msg);

the mfc-way:
void DoEvents()
{
MSG m;
while(::PeekMessage(&m, 0, 0, 0, PM_NOREMOVE))
AfxGetApp()->PumpMessage();LONG lIdle = 0; while(AfxGetApp()->OnIdle(lIdle++ )) ;}
have fun... jk :cool:
