Hi!, I have a routine that hogs the system in a very windows unfriendly way so you can't move windows about etc. Does anyone know how to make windows process a few messages each time round the loop. I tried to write a little dll function that did a postmessage, translatemessage, dispatchmessage loop and could call this OK from delphi but when did a res = call_external('winutil.dll', 'doevents') it hang IDL. Any ideas as to why 1) it should hang and 2) what the proper way to do this is. Ta muchly Samantha -- Samantha Lane slx@ansto.gov.au ANSTO PMB 1 Menai 2234 Australia disclaimer: that's what I think
