Visual Basic, text box as counter window not updating until end of load

text box as counter window not updating until end of load

Author	Message
A Bit Scruff #1 / 5	text box as counter window not updating until end of load I am loading a delimited text ascii file into a msflexgrid line by line, updating a counter (integer : cnt=cnt+1) and displaying it in a text box. I expected the textbox to count up but instead it gets updated when the load is finished with the final total. The "text1.text = str$(cnt)" is definitely in the "do while not eof(1) " loop. Is there a "if you get time could you possibly update this textbox" flag that i dont know about ???

A Bit Scruff #4 / 5	text box as counter window not updating until end of load The doevents does the job ! I've been away from programming for a bit - since when have commands in programs started being ignored ? If i want to update a textbox i program it to be updated and then VB comes along and gives me the 'you don't wanna do that really do ya" - I have much still to learn !

info #5 / 5	text box as counter window not updating until end of load think about what your prog does.... if it's in action it finishes it and then windows got time to REFRESH your textbox (first the form, then the active control, then others...- this takes time). if you want to give windows some more time to finish his work with it's GUI, then put a DOVENTS into your code (which doesn't make it faster) OR you just say the textbox to refresh: text1.text = str$(cnt) text1.refresh if that doesn't work use me.refresh, it does it with da complete form. yours, mot Quote: > I am loading a delimited text ascii file into a msflexgrid line by line, > updating a counter (integer : cnt=cnt+1) and displaying it in a text box.
