how is menu handled in vb. can any one guide me to some intro or article on this. i need this to solve a problem.

whether any process would be interupted  when menu is clicked. or will it wait for current process to be completed.

iam using vb5. so multithreading is not possible.

Do you will wait for 2 sec to process you function..?

iam using this to get instrument data  using a serial port (rs 232). i send a command from PC and i execute a

delay with doeventsto receive data. but for sending a command from pc i wait for 250 ms without doevents.

sometimes, after clicking my menu responds after 2-5 minutes .

is it due to long procedures?

or does it need code optimization?

so should i

1.write some menu handle for this ?

2. reduce the delay (it takes me some time for receiving data)

3. or is there anything wrong in my approach. if so guide me

You can use a timer
for example
you wait for 5 sec to get a msgbox

Private Sub mnuEditUndo_Click() Timer1.Enabled = True 'Search Interval in seconds: Timer1.Interval = 5 * 1000 End Sub Private Sub Timer1_Timer() count1 = 0 MsgBox "Place Copy Code here!" End Sub
