What does that last post mean? Were those the times before you could post again?

[dday9]

Yeah, it's frustrating to wait <x> amount of seconds. So I just type while I'm waiting ;]

[Shaggy Hiker]

I have always assumed that the folks at the top of the list all got there before the delay was added. I think there was a time when there wasn't a delay.

I just found out that there's a storm in the Atlantic that's suppose to his Louisiana.

[dday9]

But I don't know why they project them to hit one place so early. Generally that far out, it's near impossible to predict

[Witis]

What is the daily post record???

[dday9]

I'm thinking eighty bagillion.

[dday9]

Or maybe eighty bagillion and one. Who knows, I may spurge today.

[Witis]

Are you going for the record today, and do you think you'll go the distance???

[dday9]

I'm going the distance. I'm going for speeeeed.

[Witis]

Alrighty then, let's see what you've got!!!

[dday9]

After lunch. I'm thinking of cooking a gumbo, so it may take me a while.

I've been reading up on people bashing DoEvents() but there's a time and place when it's needed. For example, a while back I was dynamically adding and removing tabpages. When adding the tabpage I ran into a problem where setting the tabpage's text would cause an error because the code was trying to set the text before the tabpage was finished being created. Something along the lines of:

Dim tp As New TabPage
tp.Text = "Foo"
TabControl.COntrols.Add(tp)

. So I had to place a DoEvent() before the text was added in order for it to work. It wasn't a long running process. I didn't obstruct the flow of the program.

[Shaggy Hiker]

I'm not so opposed to DoEvents, myself. There are situations when it can cause some unexpected behavior. Just avoid those situations. It's certainly not something you would throw around without any thought, but what is?

[dday9]

It was the TabPage example I posted above. Not quite that simple as I was adding controls to the tabpage and setting the tabpage properties as well, but the reason I brought up the DoEvents() was because of Idents' 'Is DoEvents Evil' link in his signature.

Just saw the post about the storm. This is pretty early in the hurricane season, so it shouldn't be huge. When I lived in the Florida Keys we kept a map on the wall. As soon as a storm was named, we added a pin, then tracked it until it didn't matter. There was an old belief that there was a slot, roughly between Cuba and Bahama, and if a storm got into that slot it was going to hit the Keys. Frankly, I'd say those old-timers were hedging their bets, because by the time a storm got into that slot, it was only hours away from landfall anyways, so it had little time to turn. It's almost like predicting that a storm was going to hit as the coconuts were flying past you.

[Bonker Gudd]
