Example
Private WorkInProgress as boolean

Private sub Command1_Click()
WorkInProgress =true
dim X as long
for x=1 to 10000
debug.print time
next
WorkInProgress =false
''''((( free eventes )))
end sub

Private sub Command2_Click()
if WorkInProgress =true the exit sub ' not working
debug.print "Click Whan the loop is runing"
'''''((( i dont like that command 2 will work )))
end sub

I think I understand what you're looking for. You don't want the user to be able to click any buttons while your program is in the middle of doing work.

There is no quick option that I'm aware of.

But it's not very difficult to handle it in code.

Before you start your loop, set a variable like WorkInProgress=True

Then in your click event just do

If WorkInProgress Then Exit Sub

You can set the enabled property of the buttons to False while your code is running.

WorkInProgress not working

and Enabeld not working



the only way that it will work is if i put DoEvents in the loop

[dglienna]

You don't need it to fire every iteration on the loop, unless each iteration takes very long. You could have it fire every 10 to 1000 iterations.

for x=1 to 10000
  if x mod 1000 = 0 then doevents
endif

The Events are stack in windows i like 2 delete them after the loop is
finsh how can i find them i dont know and how 2 delete them
and only them?

for x=1 to 10000
  if x mod 1000 = 0 then doevents
endif

yes i now it will work but not on my program
i dont have a small loop but if i must i do that
i like 2 free the events all events

I don't understand what you are trying to do. You are running a loop, and you don't want users to click on a button? If you set command1.enabled=false, they won't be able to press the button. If you use DoEvents, it WILL allow them to press the button while your loop is executing.

Please explain exactly what you want to happen.

use lockwindow update to lock your window so it cant be touched.

Private Sub Command1_Click()
    MsgBox "This app will now run in the background"
    Form1.Visible = False
    Do Until x > 1000
    
    Loop
    Form1.Visible = True
End Sub

Private Sub Command1_Click()
    MsgBox "This app will now run in the background"
    Form1.Visible = False
    Do Until x > 1000
    
    Loop
    Form1.Visible = True
End Sub

The Form1.Enabled should do better. This way the user will be able to see the form but can't do anything on it.

Good answer. Yes, set form1.enabled = false and then form1.enabled = true when you are done with your loop.

it's not the best

what u need 2 do if this what u like is 2 put a contener Like a picbox and set him 2 false and not the form.

but what i was asking is that i like 2 free the event stack in windows

that it will do the last event only

but i think i must stay whit that
thank you all 4 helping me
you are the best



this is the code


pic.enabeld= false
for I= 1 to 10000
if I mod 200 = 0 then doevents (or down)
debug.print Time

next I
(or up) doevents
pic.enabeld=true
end sub

sorry abut my english i cant read or right well
