exit for next loop

[muddasirmunir]

i am using vb6
i had make a for next loop which fill data into
the table
now , some time it may needed that we want to
cancel that loop .
now what is the code to exit the for next loop

i want it like that it the user click on the button
the loop will exit

sorry, just realised you are using VB 6 and my last reply was for vb .net but what about declaring a boolean value and using do until boolean=false

ie

do until filltext  = false 

number=number +1
label1.text=number

loop

then for the button you can have it set the boolean as false

again I have only just started using VB so others may have a better answer

if you are using a for loop you could do this as -

    For n = 1 To 10
            If exitfill = true Then Exit For
    Next

is this possible that on pressing Esc button we exit from loop;
creating button and clicking it is creating problem as when if the loop
started it is not possible to click any button

I don't know a lot about threading but with what I know it sounds like your best option is using a multithreaded program

I have some code but as i don't know a lot about threading and and I cant advise fullt on how to access one thread from another which my code doesn't do somebody else might be better to advise.

VB6 Code

For I = 0 to 365

DoEvents 'you should normally call this in any tight loop
If bEscapePressed = true then
Exit For
End if

'do all your other things here

Next I

bEscapePressed needs to be global.
Set the forms keypreview property to true and if the keydown event (in the same form) is the Esc Key you can set the boolean bEscapePressed to True.


Private Sub Form_KeyDown(Ke yCode As Integer, Shift As Integer)

If KeyCode = 27 Then
bEscapePressed = True
End If

End sub

This will not work unless you have the DoEvents in the for loop. No need for multithreading - that's like hiring Picasso to paint your deck.

Thanks the slightly better sugestion !, I am fairly new to VB so the threading was the only thing that came to mind :D.

always plenty to learn !

Ain't that the truth! :)

Don't be put off - we need more people to get involved. Thanks for making the effort. (Wish I knew more about threads.)
