Multi Thread Callback? 1

[wdp]

Can you help? Im trying to run an import routine and update the client screen progress bar at the same time.

I can create a thread and drop the class into it but I understand that you should never change controls on the users screen with any other thread other than the thread that created them (in this case Main())

Does anybody have any example code to do this

Thanks...

Hi,

In order to be safe, you need to write a controller interface that handles the comunication between your initial thread and the backgroupd thread while the background thread is working. It takes a little code, but it is all explained at

Good luck
