DoEvents or what

[MrPolite]

I think doevents isnt here anymore, but that's not my question:
I have a button in my form and when it is clicked, the program will try to run a big for loop which takes a few minutes to finish. I tried to put a cancel button so that the users would be able to cancel the process if they want. But the thing is that the form is not being updated when the loop is running and so the cancel button wont get the click event...
I'm just asking for a solution to this....
tnx for any help

umm would it be a good thing to put a doevent in the loop? I think it slows down the process too much
I'll try to use that, but just wondering if anyone knows any better way to do this...

you may want to to put the process into a new thread is probably preferable.
