I have such a massive nested loop script that calls the database and makes HTTP requests to the Basecamp API. At first it was a web application, but it took a long time to start the application, so the user (invoicing department) often left early or complained, because he would take so much time without feedback and could not cancel it. I wanted to make it more responsive and give it a Cancel button, as well as a real-time log, and I would like to make it more controlled. I put it in forms so that they could control all its instances and have a cancel button and a real-time log.
However, when I connected everything with the form buttons, a multi-line text box to replace the log of answers and errors, I can not get anything to work! I added checks in the loop to break out if I click Cancel. However, I cannot even cancel the cancellation, and multi-line TextBoxwill not be updated when I .Text.Insert and then .Update (). The whole application just sits there and rotates ... How do I get it to respond, accept button clicks during a loop, and live update multi-line TextBox?
NOTE: the thing compiles fine, and I can go through it, and it is written to the log file just fine, so I can say that it works after my form freezes, looking at this log file.
Here is the code I'm trying to update multi-line TextBoxusing
TimeSyncLog.Text.Insert(TimeSyncLog.Text.Length, "(((" + clientCode + ")))\n");
:
if(CancelPressed)
{
TimeSyncLog.Text.Insert(TimeSyncLog.Text.Length,"\n\nSYNC STOPPED BY USER.");
break;
}
"" , boolean, " "...
