DoEvents

[EclipseCommunity]

Should this be placed BEFORE the code that's going to cause an application to pause, or after?

[iSKweek]

It should be
Do
Blah
While something = something (the condition)

[EclipseCommunity]

Ok, but where should DoEvents be?

[Robin]

Depends entirely on the code. It should be used sparingly and only if you need to update another part of the application.

The loading procedures at the initial load, for example. DoEvents needs to be used to make the loading screen update.

[EclipseCommunity]

Say if the server lags for example (Talking about any code here), when creating a new character, logging in or logging out, would a DoEvents call help to stop the server from freezing when it performs these procedures?

[Robin]

There is no reason the server should freeze when handling any data at all. What the hell did you do?

there are 3 condtional statments

if…  then - simple true false checker, only runs once, just remember >, <, = , <>, or, and

do... while- an uncommonly used loop, used for looping as long at one thing is the same

for- a more common loop, loops though a set array and stops when it reached the end, used for checking large abounts of ordered data, and writing large amounts data

*correct me if im wrong, but this is the basic ideas for the statments in most programing mediums

I'm not talking specifically about Origins.

..and? Even if you've made your own server it shouldn't be freezing.

[EclipseCommunity]

It freezes when people log in, log out, or make a new character. Very very strange.
