multithread needed???

[ceodav]

Hi,
a stupid question....
i want to copy a file from HD to floppy using Filecopy function...

during the copy i want to display a form, something like a
"clessidra" in topmost position.

this form shows a draw which is moving but when the code executes the filecopy, my form stops.

In VC++ it would be useful to use multi thread but here is there something very easy to do?

thanks
Davide

>is there something very easy to do?

No, nothing 'very easy'

However, see thread222-519374 for my code for VB6 multithreading.

There's also a technique that involves standalone ActiveX exe servers that launch code via a timer

you also might want to look into using SHFileOperation API function as it provides a parameter/option for displaying a progress bar.

Were either of these replies useful, ceodav?

Unfortunately i was not able to apply the multithread because i didn't have much time to look into the thread you suggested me.

i apologize if i didn't reply to you!

bye
