Asked by: ansori

You can have the loop output after 1 loop and output after each loop, by moving the loop to it's own thread.

Assuming of course you want the message box to appear after the whole loop, see the code below...

Alternatively you can call TextBox.Refresh() after you make the change to the TextBox.

Of course t = New Thread(AddressOf ca.StartLoop) should be t = New Thread(AddressOf la.StartLoop).

And also Loop is a keyword, I guess that's why you ended up using Loops instead. I've managed to give it a test and just realised it's a keyword.

Oh and Private Class LoopArgs() should just be Private Class LoopArgs, with no brackets.

Of course I should have tried all this before posting..... ahem...

 

by: ansoriPosted on 2009-11-08 at 16:21:24ID: 25772704

on this line :
Public StartDelegate As StartCounterDelegate

i get this message :
Type 'StartCounterDelegate' is not defined

 

by: PsyberionPosted on 2009-11-08 at 16:34:12ID: 25772747

I'm copying bits from another list of code, and I missed the delegate bit.

Try adding the Delegate line below and changing StartCountDelegate to StartLoopDelegate, I changed it to that as it's more relevant to your app. So the top of this code should look like....

Delegate Sub StartLoopDelegate(ByVal iterations As Integer)

Private Class LoopArgs()
    Public Reader As System.IO.StreamReader
    Public FILE_NAME As String
    Public StartDelegate As StartLoopDelegate
    Public Sub StartLoop()
        StartDelegate(Reader, FILE_NAME)
    End Sub
End Class

I take it you have already added Imports System.Threading at the top of the code?

 

by: ansoriPosted on 2009-11-08 at 16:43:13ID: 25772774

i has added added Imports System.Threadining


in this line :
StartDelegate(Reader, FILE_NAME)

i get this message:
Value of type 'System.IO.StreamReader' cannot be converted to 'Integer'.      <<< in Reader
Too many arguments to 'WindowsApplication2.Form1.StartLoopDelegate'.   <<< in FILE_NAME


And in this line :
la.StartDelegate = AddressOf Loops

get this message

For newer versions of .Net (2005 and above) consider using the BackgroundWorker control instead.

Without threading, it can also be accomplished by adding a call to Application.DoEvents() INSIDE the while loop.

Something like:

        While Reader.EndOfStream = False
            Str = Reader.ReadLine
            Label1.Text = "Checking : " & Str
            Try
                cari = RequestWebData(Str)
                If cari.Contains("http://www.mysite.com") Then
                    TextBox2.AppendText(Str & vbCrLf)
                    objWriter.Write(Str & vbCrLf)
                End If
            Catch ex As Exception
                Label1.Text = "error"
            End Try
            Application.DoEvents() ' <----------------------------------- =)
        End While

Sorry again, line 6 of your code should be...

Delegate Sub StartLoopDelegate(ByRef Reader As System.IO.StreamReader, ByRef FILE_NAME As String)
