thread tutorial

[Madbull]

Hi,

I'm looking for a tutorial or something like that that shows how to implement a multi-threading application

 

[mattKnight]

As VB is essentially a single-threaded language there isn't really a good tutorial.

That being said, VB can be made to use multiple threads but great care is needed. The development process will be extremely frustrating as the IDE will crash at the slightest excuse, even for typo errors.

The basic outline of how to do this has been covered in this forume (search for CreateThread) before now.

Depending on what you are doing, there may be other methods more applicable (maybe even a different langauage)

Good luck!

Take Care

Matt
If at first you don't succeed, skydiving is not for you.

Sounds like this question ought to be in the VB.NET forum, which supports threading.

Although I would second chiph that you should do this with .NEt, here is the thread222-519374 that MattKnight was referring to...

There are others if you do the search.
