Code Process conflicts with Mouse -- TOUGHY!!!!

[dw85745]

The Mouse_Down, Up and Move Events are tied to a specific window.

WHen drawing in that window(eg PicBox) in code (eg. MoveTo, LineTo) and at the same time using the mouse (User Inferface not code interface) to draw in the same window a conflict occurs.

Simple flag does not work. VB doesn't support threads.

Any Solutions???

VB does support multithreading. Its not as good as in c++, but its stable. There is a contest winner at www.planetsourcecode.com/vb

No multithreading - at least for now, supportly net has it.
Was looking for some constructive feedback -- but thanks
for responding.

Looking for a workaround it there is one -- that's why a TOUGHY!!!

THERE HAS TO BE A WAY???

FYI - Using a waitable timer in the mouse events also doesn't work -- locks up mouse.

You want a work around? Use C++ It's the only safe was to do it in VB5, and VB6 doesn't even support it. If doing the whole thing in C++ doesn't sound pleasent, you could simply create a DLL to just the multithreading part for you.
