controling a never ending loop code

[red6000]

Hi,

I have code that I want to put into a loop. In essence, this loop could be
never ending (and that is what I want to actually happen).

However in reallity I want to be able to stop and start the loop at will.

So really i think I need a non-modal form with 2 buttons (stop and start).

Now doing the start button is easy, but what code would I need in the stop
button to stop the 'start' code from running?

Hope that makes sense and thanks for any help/pointers.

Steve.

As long as you include DoEvents in your main loop you will be OK - doEvents
will allow the system to see the other button click and - presumably through
some global variable - you can pause, rename the buttons, resume from where
you left off, whatever you want, through the other button's event code.
