How to release time to CPU? 1

[gadgetguy1111]

Hello,

i'm doing some calculations using nexted for loops.

the structure looks something like this:

for i= 1 to 1000
for j = 1 to 1000
for k = 1 to 1000
do calculations
check for condition
if true exit for
next k
next j
next i

the problem is after a while of running, the program hangs.

i guess this is because win xp thinks the program has failed and will tried to close it.

when i presses ctrl-break, i can see that the program is working ok.

any idea what should i do?

thanks

Use "DoEvents" To release time from the app to the CPU

for i= 1 to 1000
for j = 1 to 1000
for k = 1 to 1000
do calculations
check for condition
if true exit for
next k
DoEvents 'maybe here
next j
DoEvents 'maybe here
next i

the placement will depend on how much work you are doing in the loops. Hope this helps. Anything is possible, the problem is I only have one lifetime.
