Edit2: The thing on the web didn't really work.


Ok so I am program a dll in delphi. (To Inject into another process)

I am process information with a huge loop. How do I prevent the host application from freezing because of the loop?

The example I found on the web said use

Application.ProcessMessages;
But it didn't work. My app still froze.

create the loop in a new thread?

If you're injecting a DLL, it would automatically create a new thread for your program to run in and it shouldn't affect the host at all. Post the code so we can see what's wrong.
Also, I'm not entirely sure how a delphi DL will interact with a program written in a nother language. Might work fine, but I have no idea.

avoid using "repeat"

[dnsi0]

IM not using repeat.

Here:

While 1=1 do
begin
//my script here
end;

You're probably fucking something up with your script.

You have to call sleep for at least 10 miliseconds

Same thing in C or any language.

And rot1, sometimes you have to constantly change a value...What do you think CEF's freeze state does? It just constantly changes the value using a loop

[dnsi0]

I did sleep(100);

[pkedpker]

100 might be too much if your loop is completely empty I'd go with something like 10 or so.. just to keep the CPU usage down to 0-1%.

100 is like 10 times per second it will create some kind of lag.. but it wont freeze up application so I don't know

[HomerSexual]

Do you have any idea what you just said? 100 milliseconds is more than 10 ms so the loop will be run less times per second.

Your loop design fails.

[HalfPrime]

Sleep(10) sleeps for 10 ms, 100 loops per sec
Sleep(100) sleeps for 100 ms, 10 loops per sec.
