I\'m writting a program for sorting and editing (large) text files containing lists of random words. During the process, i\'ve used a text field that informs the user in which stage the process is. The code is something like this (i won\'t paste the actual code because it\'s not necessary and it\'s hard to read) when the user presses the button to start the process:
\r\n
\r\nprint "Opening file..." in textfield
\r\nopen .txt file for input
\r\nprint "file opened successfully" in textfield
\r\nprint "reading records..." in textfield
\r\nDo While loop to save .txt records into an array
\r\nprint "Sorting..." in textfield
\r\nsave current time
\r\nrun QuickSort3 module to sort the array
\r\nsave current time
\r\nprint the DateDiff in textfield
\r\n
\r\nThe problem here is that VB is getting ahead of the commands so when I press the button to begin the above process, the program freezes for few seconds (which means it is running the sorting algorithm) and then prints everything in the textfield at once. Even the two "save current time" are saving the exact same time no matter how long it took for the sorting algorithm to do it\'s job.
\r\n
\r\nI have tried to use "DoEvents" in many places in the code with no luck. So, how can I force VB to execute the code line-by-line? I want to see the text in the textfield before the program starts sorting the array!
\r\n
\r\nthank you for your time!
