Calling ProcessSystemEvents() in a loop versus calling RunUserInterface()

[bmihura]

My CVI code would be cleaner if I did it this way.

Are there any downsides to calling ProcessSystemEvents() in a loop versus calling RunUserInterface()?

Why would you want to do it that way?

How is your program structured?

What makes it "cleaner" to do it with ProcessSystemEvents() as opposed to RunUserInterface() ?

(I believe the effect of the RunUserInterface() call is essentially the same as looping on ProcessSystemEvents() but there may be other stuff it handles in the background I do not know about).

My program is structured so that it is always running in a loop.

However, now that you mention it, I could restructure it like a typical CVI program.

I find the event-driven RunUserInterface() way of doing things to be a lot more intuitive for me at least. Which is why I was wondering why you were doing it a different way. Neither approach is necessarily more correct than the other, it's just a matter of what you are used to I guess.
