I guess there's a way since Mechanik and Tweak do it so how would I go about monitoring a memory value continuously but still allowing the rest of my app to be used? I tried a standard loop but, as I thought, it won't let me do anything else in the app.

Any ideas?

You would need to set it to run on a seperate thread. If you search your documentation for threading or multi-threading you should find it.

Why not just run a timer at a decent interval?

What do you mean monitoring a memory value? Is there a variable to you are trying to see when it changes? or is it some external value (like memory used)

For the first, you'll want to just make the value a property on a class so that you get a way to intercept it being changed, at which time you can fire off an event to notify anyone who cares

For the second, either DarkTimes or Leifde's suggestion would work. A timer would get fired on its own thread (from the threadpool) every so often to check, while using a thread would required that you keep a loop running in the thread to check the value (and don't forget to sleep or you'll drive your CPU usage needlessly high)

Basically I want my program to notice when a memory value in another application (LFS) changes. By the sounds of it, a timer would be the best option.

P.S. I should go with my suggestion?

Heh, i meant to credit Rooble with the timer solution

But yeah, timer be perfect for that.

Try DoEvents on every single loop, should do what you want. If you can't catch every event try somthing like 4 times calling DoEvents in every loop.
