This is IDE behavior. Just compile your app and everything will be OK. Or use SetTimer API

Hi lee88,<br />
<br />
You could also use DoEvents with the CCRP timer:<br />

Ark: I compiled, but no change. I will try SetTimer API.<br />

I have a timer that fires every 1/10 of a second and updates a label on a form. It works fine, but when the following code is executed:<br />
<br />
&nbsp; &nbsp; Dim oHTTP As New MSXML2.XMLHTTP<br />
&nbsp; &nbsp; ...<br />
&nbsp; &nbsp; oHTTP.send (DataToSend)<br />
<br />
my VB6 program &quot;looses program control&quot; to the &quot;send&quot; operation for about 15 seconds. In other words, my timer event does not fire during the &quot;send&quot; operation. Is there any way to cause my timer to continue to fire at its interval during the &quot;send&quot; operation?<br />

my VB6 program "looses program control" to the "send" operation for about 15 seconds. In other words, my timer event does not fire during the "send" operation. Is there any way to cause my timer to continue to fire at its interval during the "send" operation?


Timer does not fire during Send operation?

Visual Basic is Microsoft’s event-driven programming language and integrated development environment (IDE) for its Component Object Model (COM) programming model. It is relatively easy to learn and use because of its graphical development features and BASIC heritage. It has been replaced with VB.NET, and is very similar to VBA (Visual Basic for Applications), the programming language for the Microsoft Office product line.
