FW using processortime

[driessen]

Hello,

How can I prevent that the next loop is using 100% processortime ?

This is the loop :

------------------------------
DO WHILE .T.
IF VActive
SYSREFRESH()
LOOP
ENDIF
EXIT
ENDDO
------------------------------

Thanks a lot in advance.

Michel,

Try Sleep( 1 ) instead of Sysrefresh()

Couldn't you use a timer?

Antonio,
Otto,

Thanks a lot for you answers.

Antonio, sleep() is an unknown function in FW for Clipper.

Otto, I never thought of a timer. I'll try it out.

Thank you.

This is a working sample of Sleep() definition:

Code: Select all

#include "Fivewin.ch"


FUNCTION MAIN()

    SLEEP( 2000 )

    RETURN NIL


DLL32 FUNCTION SLEEP( nMilliseconds AS DWORD ) AS VOID;
      PASCAL FROM "Sleep" LIB "kernel32.dll"
