I'm having difficulty figuring out how to translate a windows form
application into a module. Essentially I want the program to run, and
terminate without any UI (or any overhead of UI).
The problem is that my code relies upon a referenced COM object, which
needs to be initialised, and then raises an event when it is ready to
use.
My simplified code for the windows form is shown below.
-----------------------------------------------------------
Imports com_dll
Public Class Form1
Private COM_OBJECT As Ctl
Private Sub Form1_Load(sender As Object, e As System.EventArgs)
Handles Me.Load
myCtl = New Ctl()
AddHandler myCtl.EventReady, AddressOf EventReady
End Sub
Private Sub EventReady()
' Do stuff with initialised control
Application.Exit
End Sub
End Class
--------------------------------------------------------------
My thinking of converting it to a module would be along the lines of:
-----------------------------------------------------------
Imports com_dll
Module myModule
Private COM_OBJECT As Ctl
Public Sub main()
myCtl = New Ctl()
AddHandler myCtl.EventReady, AddressOf EventReady
' HOLD EXECUTION OF THIS SUB HERE TO ALLOW OTHER EVENTS TO BE
RAISED AND EXECUTED
Application.Exit
End Sub
Private Sub EventReady()
' Do stuff with initialised control
End Sub
End Module
--------------------------------------------------------------
>From what I've read, DoEvents() is exactly what I need to suspend
execution of the current Sub, and allow the system to respond to other
events. However, it's not available from within a module.
Does anyone have an alternative suggestion for ensuring the module
doesn't terminate until the referenced COM events are raised and
processed?
Thanks
Paul
