Trying sleep just screws up many things , and you never goto [ckbuf]
It would probably need many pgm changes to implement.....

Could the Wait be implemented a while wend timing loop , or would that block event's from happening ......

If I try
Code:
  timer, bucketdelay ckbuf
  next instruction 
 


I assume the end sub will bring me back to the next instruction. I might be able to make that work.......

Also have you ignored that ?Delay & TicMS don't get data while ManualTx does - all textboxes -


changed the last test code....
Code:
[LoopExit]
'timer bucketdelay, [ckbuf]
'wait
timer bucketdelay, ckbufx
goto [ckbuf] 
sub ckbufx
' do nothing
end sub
[ckbuf]

 


Now getting 4.6ms ??????

The ?Delay and TicMS -- still don't update..
will try on main pgm to see what happens....

Yea I know ,, that won't work I have to put the wait in there,but this did show that LB shows 0.2ms to do that simple bit of code while LBB shows 4.6ms ????

That doesn't make sense. Are you sure that you understood what I am suggesting? I want you to replace this single statement:

Code:
    WAIT 

with this short block of code:

Code:
[waitnow]
    SCAN
    calldll #kernel32, "Sleep", 1 as long, r as void
    goto [waitnow] 

This code is functionally the same as a WAIT statement. It isn't plausible that it can "screw up many things" or "never goto [ckbuf]". I can only assume that you have not made the code substitution correctly.

No. Have you never used a SUB event handler before - not even for a GUI event such as a button click? This is absolutely standard practice (indeed it is preferred over the branch label kind of handler in almost all circumstances). When using SUB handlers control returns to the WAIT statement - that is precisely why I think it might be helpful, because the WAIT gets executed once but never again.

I thought the wait was the next instruction..
Anyway Is there any way to pop the return off the stack?

Code:
After correctly adding the sleep the speed increased 
greatly on LBB run , but has +/- 2ms  bounce
while LB run has +/- 0.3ms bounce

The LBB.exe has close to the same as LBB run, with
occasional spikes to 28ms
ManualTx WRITTEN ok  ?Delay -NOT WRITTEN   TicMS -NOT WRITTEN

LBB Run program with sleep 
 ManualTx WRITTEN ok  ?Delay -NOT WRITTEN   TicMS -NOT WRITTEN

Speed INCREASED a lot, but is bumpy +/-2MS

Not too sure what you mean. What are you trying to achieve?

By "bounce" do you mean 'jitter'? Jitter of that order is entirely to be expected.

If you are wanting LBB to behave identically to LB you are going to be disappointed. Indeed your other problems (font issues and 'non-displaying' textboxes) are caused by you making insufficient allowance for predictable variations between platforms, and you would likely see similar 'failures' if you ran your program in LB but under Wine rather than Windows. Even a different version of Windows or a different 'theme' setting might be sufficient. Modifying your code so that it works in LBB as well as LB will make it generally more reliable! grin

Can we draw this thread to a close now?

Richard.

I have locked this thread because the original reported issue ("LBB runs 7 times slower than LB") has been resolved. Other issues are best raised in a new thread.
