Graphic Window turning white ?

[Frank Kestens]

Thanks for the answers . I'll post the code , but cause its quite long I have to clean it before posting it ...

Sounds like "The White Screen of Death" .... what you get when you try do something which ties up the current thread, preventing the screen from repainting.

(solution: do such stuff in a separate thread of execution).

Frank,
Basically if you post the code you are using that makes the CPU go to 100% I am sure someone can spot why it is doing that. (Although without seeing code, we can only guess, but my guess would involve SLEEP)

What do yo mean Chris ?
The program compiles wihout errors

If you post compileable source code here then people can look at it and I bet you will get a result.

Compileable source code will probably do the trick...

The CPU is herby running at ca. 100% .....( and a cure ) ?

I've got a problem with one of my applications : the application draws graphs in the output window . The CPU is herby running at ca. 100% .
Sometimes the output window becomes totally empty , in the middle of the run .
The curious thing is that if I perform a screenshot at the end of the program , the screenshot is as expected .
Do I have some problem with my Graphics?
Curiously , if I give the program at the beginning a priority of "high" in the Windows task manager the problem doesn't occur at all.
Someone has any similar experiences ( and a cure ) ?
