DoEvents should only be used to keep a program responsive to user-input. It seems most Mirage goers have it as a bad habit now. It's a relic of the past, at it's best.
You shouldn't call every loop, if you do need to use it.
Try something like this:
Code:
If GetInputState 0 Then DoEventsIf the queue contains one or more new mouse-button or keyboard messages, the return value is nonzero, but if there are no new mouse-button or keyboard messages in the queue, the return value is zero.
