pause programmaticaly

[cooper12000]

hey all i need to pause a program programaticaly rather than using break points and or message boxes with rude comments to myself in. Is this possable?
Thanks Cooper

what do you mean pause a program? be more specific dude.

[cooper12000]

ok if i allow the prog to run normaly i get a different result than if i use a break point and make it pause obviously i cant use a break point when i compile it for distribution (around the house) and i cant realy have a message box.

i was wondering would somthing like
while (some time function)<10
loop

would work

[chubzyko]

like a delay?

[cooper12000]

i guess

[chubzyko]

why dont you use a timer then?

[cooper12000]

because untill each time the timer is called the prog will run;)

Well dude then there's a problem in ur code.
Because a program has to run same way whethetr with breakpoints or without.

So try to debug the program properly may be by putting more breakpoints and checking at which point ur result gets changed.

I m sure as i ve faced this problem before a lot

Why not use a messagebox showing the current value of the variable you would like to check, together with some identification tag of that location. You can put as many as you like, at locations where you think the problem may be there. if you feel the variable value is ok then press yes else stop and trouble shoot
