[mono-vb] Wait for key press

[Rolf Bjarne Kvinge]

Hi,

I created a little test program, which works like you think it should (I
executed 'vbnc test.vb && mono test.exe').

If it still doesn't work for you, can you provide a complete sample I can
just compile and try to run?

Rolf


imports system
imports system.windows.forms
imports system.threading

public class F 
	inherits system.windows.forms.form
	dim Go as boolean
	
	Private Sub KeyPress(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As
System.Windows.Forms.KeyEventArgs) Handles Me.KeyUp
		Console.WriteLine ("Keypress:  {0}", e.KeyCode)
		if e.KeyCode = Keys.T then Go = True
		if e.KeyCode = Keys.S then Exec
	end sub

	sub Exec
		Console.WriteLine ("Exec")
		Go = false
		Do
			Application.DoEvents()
			Threading.Thread.Sleep(1)
		Loop Until Go = True
		Console.WriteLine ("Exec [Done]")
	end sub
	
	shared sub Main
		Application.Run (new F ())
	end sub
end class
