Error after a few hours of DoEvents

[Jeff Cooper]

Hi,

I have an app that often has no windows and uses a NotifyIcon. My Sub Main
has a loop:
Do Until gExit

Application.DoEvents()

Loop

When running the app in development, it works fine. But when running the
exe, DoEvents() raises the following error after several hours:

An unhandled exception of type 'System.ArgumentException' occurred in
mscorlib.dll
Additional information: Item has already been added. Key in dictionary:
"-1" Key being added: "-1"

There's nothing in my app that should happen without human interaction
(clicking, double-clicking the notifyicon, etc). So I'm not sure what's
happening here. The program is basically just sitting there, waiting for
something to happen. I left it running last night and found the error this
morning, so it's not like I'm accidentaly clicking a window or icon and
raising something. I can't find anything in various groups relating to
this. Anyone have any thoughts?

Thanks,

Jeff

Replace the whole loop by

Application.run

Otherwise you get 100% CPU usage. Instead of setting gExit, call
application.ExitThread. If this doesn't fix the problem, find out the error
line and post it here.
