Threading question VB

[Kruzer]

Java developer needs help with VB 6 threading:

How effective is spawning threads in a vb.exe? Are there any good examples of creating timed threads? What is the syntax of creating a thread in VB? I have a socket listener that waits for a trigger var that kicks of a function that makes a call to active directory. I want to make sure I can spawn as many threads as needed in making the AD call.

Threading in VB6 is not very simple. The resident guru is strongm and you can see a sample of threading from him in thread222-519374.

I wouldn't attempt any multi-threading in VB6 -- you *can* get it to work, but the language isn't really set up for it.

Try VB.NET -- the .NET framework has excellent support for threading.

You can use ActiveX Exe's to get a multi threading application. Such as put your port listener class in its own Single Use ActiveX EXE. When you instanse your class (most likely With Events) it gets its own thread (and process space) and can fire events back to your app.
