Multithreading
- Thread starter wlaflamme
- Start date
Don't know of any books because unless you are using .NET, it would be a very short book that says "it doesn't do it".
There is a thread here that talkes about an option with VB6:
See thread222-81481
But I think you might find it better to use .NET.
Good Luck!

At one time I would have agreed with you vanvb that VB6.0 is only single threaded, even though I knew better at the time, because it can be very dangerous. Now with that said, wlaflamme I will now say it is not a good idea to try to multi-thread VB6.0, but it can be done. Let me point you to a very simple but workable solution by strongm in thread222-519374 who proves this point.
As for books I have never seen one with the specific goal of multi-threading VB6.0, but I have seen some examples at and a few other sites.
Good Luck

I fall into the camp that says "don't do it". Unless you know precisely what you're doing, you'll just end up frustrated because you'll get errors you can't duplicate to fix. As soon as you access a shared variable, you're in trouble. And what's worse, most programmers don't recognize the danger signs, so their projects end in failure.
