Hi guys,

I want to detect and respond to a mouse click / kbd button input occuring randomly during a cycle or procedure execution. Usually, the form becomes "deaf" when some processing is done (a cycle, procedure) until the end of it. I'm sure there's a way to do this.

Thanx

Mikey

So guys,

a solution is to use threads (i.e. multithreading). But I wondered if .NET hasn't more simple a solution, such as somehow "refreshing" inputs. Good old Pascal had a function, called "Keypressed", that scanned the keyboard buffer and intercepted any... key pressed in the meantime. I wish there were a similar "Mousepressed" function in VB.net.

(PS. Long live Google).

Hi...

Application.DoEvents is still alive.. it's the simple way to read other inputs.

In VB6, you could also read the queue to search for a specific message. I'm sure you can do the same in .net
