Sure. What is it that App.DoEvents does? Most everyone that uses it cannot answer this question. As I understand it, DoEvents runs one iteration of the event loop. So, what happens during the event loop -- just about everything. A lot happens under the hood over which we have no control. That makes it very difficult to write code whose outcome you can predict. You will see reentrancy, which means that you need to write reentrant- safe code in every method. And if you use plugins, you'll need to contact the authors to ask them to do the same.
