[Visualpython-users] Message loops

[Chris L. <chr...@sp...>]

Is there any recommended way of constructing message loops using visual 
python and controls that could best run whilst awaiting a possibly 
terminal reply from a socket?



I'm populating labels from one-wire sensors and the little darlings tend 
to be a little taciturn when you drop them in water, and they forget to 
answer back...

You're basically asking a Python programming question, not a question 
about Visual. You'll probably need to turn to a different, Python 
mailing list for help.

This past week, everyday when I opened my Wall Street Journal, I was  
met with a full page ad from Microsoft. This ad was dominated by  
three simple words "Protect your PC." This strikes me as something  
akin to the Saudi government running ads in the New York Times in mid- 
September of 2001 saying "Protect your Tall Buildings." --Russ McGuire
