Application.DoEvents

[Bob lazarchik]

Hello:

I have created a component in which I need to do a timeout operation. What
is the equivalent to Application.DoEvents() in a Component.

public virtual bool ReceiveResponse( out string aResponseString, int
aTimeoutInterval )
{
bool aTimeout = false
while ( ( ResponseList.Count = 0 ) && ( !aTimeout ) )
{
// with for the list to get a response.

// this won't work for a component
Application.DoEvents();

// do processing for timeout interval
if ( reached atimeout )
{
aTimeout = true;
}
}

if ( !aTimeout )
{
//process the response
}
else
{
// fire timeout error
}

return aResponse;
}

Thanks
Bob

Hi Bob,

Why won't Application.DoEventswork?
Anyway, you should really consider processing it in another thread.
See
Safe, Simple Multithreading in Windows Forms (there are three parts) for
more info.

The most appropriate thing is to do your work in another thread instead
of using DoEvents in the first place.
