Standalone "Not Responding"

[Mark Schonewille]

Hi,

While using repeat loops, include the line

wait 0 millisecs with messages

at the end of your repeat loop (before end repeat). This will give your 
app some time to update the GUI and to communicate with the OS.

If you're downloading large amounts of data from a website, consider 
using PHP to execute the query. Use the load command to retrieve the 
data and use the urlStatus function to display progress. The load also 
allows you to use a callback message, which makes it possible to 
implement a fully non-blocking solution.

Alternatively, download smaller amounts of data (but that alone isn't an 
option, if the server needs a long time to execute the query).
