C1009 - Why does my computer self-destruct when I use Repeat...While? by - Joseph Ganci It doesn't exactly
self-destruct. What is happening is that your repeat loop is stuck in
its loop. Try this. Have the mouse button pressed down when you
start your repeat loop. It won't execute and will bypass the repeat.
Once in your repeat,
external devices are not polled: this allows the repeat loops to execute as
quickly as possible. That's why your MouseDown variable will
not work here.
By the way, to get
out of the loop when it's stuck, hit Ctrl-Break on your keyboard (or Cmnd
. on the Mac). It should break out and you will see a dialog box telling
you so. If it doesn't work the first time, try a few more times. Also
see note C1003 on the previous screen for more information. |
