hi again !i'm happy today because i succeeded to make my program work !how ? well, keeping on reading, thinking and trying things, i understood i was doing wrong. Event programming is not as difficult as i thought, but as different as i used to practice. So i left the loop programming away and used the event OnRecvSimobjectData with parameters SIMCONNECT_PERIOD.SIM_FRAME for the period and SIMCONNECT_DATA_REQUEST_FLAG.CHANGED for the data request flag. Then i included the things i wanted to do when this event received the massage.In fact it's a new way of thinking but easy to understand and use when you've found itThank's for your help

Thank you for your answer Pete...i'm sure i haven't understand the philosophy of VB.net programming and simconnect workings...well, in a do...while loop i call the simconnect function as i can do thru a button...but even after the button click i have the result in a textfield of my form because the event is fired in simconnect (for example, the gear position which varie from 0 to 1 when the gear toggle is fired), i have not the same result in my loop....it seems that i have the result only when the control which have the loop ends...it's very amazing for me and very new to program in VB.net and also with events...Where can i find good tutorials to understand how simconnect works ?i've read the tutorials from NotASenator at http://www.notasenator.com/blog/ and i'm waiting for the following lessons...

Hi !i have the same problem polling informations from FSX, regarding gear position.I did a loop calling the function onrecvsimobjectdata or something like that...but there are no result at all...i can get the information clicking regularly a button calling the function and displaying the information, but not in a while loop...why it doesn't work ?are there any examples or tutorial in VB.net to understand how it really works ?thank's for your helpFred
