Title: Making loops more effective
Question: How to make loops so they don''t hold back the application
Answer:
Often when making loops, that have to run for a long time you
forget that when the application closes, it will have some
problems due to your loop that hasn't ended.
Also you have to tell Windows to update your application.
To break your loop when the application do this
//For-loop
for i:=0 to XYZ do
begin
if Application.Terminated then Break; //Breaking on Application.Terminate
//The rest of the code here
end;
//While-loop
while i=XYZ do
begin
if Application.Terminated then Break; //Breaking on Application.Terminate
//The rest of the code here
end;
To make Windows update your application in a loop add this.
Application.ProcessMessages;
