Buttons... flickering...

[PCode]

Okay, so I made this program and for some reason, the buttons on the GUI are responding poorly, missing clicks quite often. I think it might be my code, but I don't see where I went wrong.

Does anyone notice anything strange in the code?

Other than the buttons being weird, everything else seems to work fine.

You should post your script,not attach it. This should help.

Does any one have a clue why the buttons would flicker so I know what to look for in my code?

Why would the buttons respond poorly? I need something here.

[jvanegmond]

This is probably a bit overdone.

Do
    Sleep(2000)
Until 0oÝ÷ Ù«­¢+Ù¼(%M±À ÔÀ¤)U¹Ñ¥°

I've tried it myself, and the buttons do not flicker. I had a problem with the Korean characters, but that is because I don't have them installed on my Windows.

[dbzfanatic]

The modified code I posted above was basically your original. The only difference is I took out the Do ... Until loop and replaced it with

While 1

Sleep(250)

WEnd

[jvanegmond]

I'm glad we agree.

Hours apart, and you even without looking at the code I posted (and apparently the OP since they didn't seem to notice it worked).

You wrote "You should post your script,not attach it. This should help.". This made me think that you posted the script, instead of attached it, and that it fixed that problem instead of the one the OP was asking about. The OP probably thought the same.

This...

So the sleep was too long? Hmmm, the help file had sleep at 1 or 2 seconds when I checked it, so that's where I got my number.

I try it out and see what happens. Thanks guys.
