Hi Keith,
IMHO it's not the statictext, i tried your example with an editfield
with the same result, only that with the editfield the problem shows
after more than 200,000 iterations and with the statictext it started
with 100,000 to 150,000 iterations on my pc with xp sp2.
So I guess there is something else going on:
replacing your code with:
dim x as double
dim running as boolean
running = true
while running
x = x + 1
editfield1.text = str(x)
if x mod 10000=0 then
editfield1.Refresh
end if
if UserCancelled then exit
wend
this code can run millions of iterations without a problem. As you can
see I do the refresh only once every 10,000 iterations and i think there
is the problem. If you leave out the if mod-clause then after about
200,000 RB is sending his refreshes ins nirwana.
IMO it's the windows graphics-engine that cannot keep up with the flood
of changes or RB doesn't 'wait' till windows signals that the highway is
free.
This are just my findings, I hope it helps solving the nasty
print-problem on windows xp which looks related to this problem, at
least to me.
Warm regards,
Andre
