[RESOLVED] [2008] System freeze while starting a loop for a couple of seconds.

[shynet]

Hi guys !

I'm making an application with an API that detects the
mouse clicks (left, middle, and right).

I have this loop:

    Public Sub BackLoop()
        While Mode = True
            My.Application.DoEvents()
            If once = False Then
                TempScript = SideCompare(Cursor.Position) 'Some Function
                If TempScript <> Nothing Then
                    once = True
                    TempScript &= "|"
                End If
            Else
                Dim x As String = SideCompare(Cursor.Position) 'Some Function
                If x <> Nothing And Cursor.Position <> LastCoordinates Then
                    TempScript &= x & "|"
                End If
            End If
            LastCoordinates = Cursor.Position
            My.Application.DoEvents()
            System.Threading.Thread.Sleep(5)
        End While
    End Sub

And again, no this is not a KEYLOGGER or anything close to that I don't support this kind of things.

So what my problem is that it works fine but I have this
code that turns the loop off and then turn in back on:

   Private Sub MouseEvent(ByVal mEvent As Integer) Handles MHook.MouseEvent
        If mEvent = &H208 Then 'Middle Mouse Up
            Mode = False
            My.Application.DoEvents()
Some code should be performed here
            My.Application.DoEvents()
            Mode = True
            Call BackLoop()
        End If
    End Sub

this code make the loop go back on when the middle mouse button is up.
but the system freeze for a couple of seconds when this code is performed(the mouse can move but you can't do anything) when I removed these two lines:

            Mode = True
            Call BackLoop()

the system continued to work as it should (the loop starts when the application start and my system doesnt freeze when it start), but when I add these lines again
the system freeze for a couple of seconds.

But I can't remove these two lines because I need the loop to go back on ,
how can I make the loop go back without the freeze issues?

Thank you!

why do you have so darn many doevents in there? i suspect that's most of the problem. doevents will eat up 100% system resources if you let it. Take the doevents out of the while loop.

I think you might be right , I will try that...!
and I fixed the issue just by not turning of the first loop...
it's not such a fix but its still a solution for what I want.

Thank's again!
