Modeless for DIALOG NEW Maximizes CPU, place sleep statement in do events

[Paul Purvis]

here is what i have done to my gui programs where modeless dialogs are created,

the MODELESS DIALOG seems to create bad cpu usage.


DO
DIALOG DOEVENTS TO Count&
IF SLOWDOWNCOUNT& MOD 10000 =0 THEN SLOWDOWNCOUNT&=0:SLEEP 1
INCR SLOWDOWNCOUNT&
LOOP UNTIL Count&=0


My question is since i have first placed sleep 1 statements into the DO EVENTS LOOP.

What seems to be the best code for all computers inside the loop

i wanted to get some feedback in this area across the board.

thanks paul

Hi Paul,

Can this be reason for the issue?

Paul, what Tonny pointed you to is correct. SLEEP 1, is not equivalent to DIALOG DOEVENTS 1 TO Count&. You want to use DIALOG DOEVENTS 1 TO Count&.
