VB6 Threaded Forms (simple Demo)

[Schmidt]

As the title says, just a simple Demo which might help to "find ground again", when it comes to VB6-threading.
(there's certainly a whole lot of overcomplicating, unnecessary stuff out there).

The Demo shows real InProcess-Multithreading via a simple VB6-AX-Exe-Project.

There are no API-calls necessary, nor are there any Assembly-hacks - it's just plain VB6 - running threaded Forms in STAs.

Within the threaded Form, an external (OCX-based) Control gets loaded (since that recently came up).
To get things running:
- open and compile ExternalControl.vbp first
- then open and compile AxThreading.vbp

Ok, here the Zip:
AxExeThreading.zip

Addition:
Since the question came up, how to work with "Project-Private UserControls" (instead of loading a Control
from an external OCX onto the threaded Form, as covered in the original Demo-Zip above)...

Here a slightly changed version, which covers that case (by hosting the Thread-Forms, as well as the Private UCs in a separate AX-Dll-Project):
AxExeThreading2.zip


Have fun,
