I have a project, that loops through a lot of wmi queries, and while its
looping, the window will not repaint, I can't move or size the window.
I remember having a similar problem back in an excel macro, and I ran a
command that told the application to process windows messages.
Is there such a thing in vb.net, or is there a way to make sure windows
messages get processed in big cpu greedy loops?
Also, Is it a big deal to make code multy threaded? Where should a person
start looking for info regarding multitreaded programming in vb.net?

In your loop you can call: Application.DoE vents()

Hey Fred,
My first answer will help with repainting but not with moving the window.
Sorry I missed that requirement on my first read.
Any easy way to use threading is to get started with asynchronous delegates.
Here is a good article: http://msdn.microsoft.com/msdnmag/is...s/default.aspx
Once you create a Delegate through which to call the method with your big
loop, repainting, moving, and other user interface actions will work while
the big loop is processing your wmi queries.

I am trying to write a program that I hope to get working as a

it will do houskeeping and monitoring tasks.
This is where it all gets strange. Although I can make calls into
the API and do things proactively, when I register a callback for...

I was wondering if anyone could point me to an example. Currently i
have a c++ program which calls and c++ dll (i created both). The dll
uses SendMessage to pass messages back to the calling .exe, and the
..exe process the messages in it's Windows Procedure function
WindProc().
What i want is to receive these messages ( the contents of each message
will be plain text), in python using a callback (i think this is what i
need).

Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
