    Question Threading Issue.[Resolved]

    I have an app that uses an Active X Dll. The main app calls a function in the DLL. Is there a way in VB 6 to get the main app to call the function in the dll, but still be able to peform it's own processes while the dll is doing the ones it is told to do. I know this is multi-threading and I know VB 6 does not have the full multi threading. I am also thinking about converting this to VB.Net. I know I can do this in .Net.....But if I can get it done before I get it converted to .Net it will be better. Maybe I am just screwed...lol. The dll also sends events if back to the admin software of something goes wrong.

    Any help is appreciated....thanks in advance.


    Thank you for reference to Woka Thread. I wil take a look at it.

    You are very lucky...

    I had never seen a method of doing multithreading safely, until a few days ago when a very clever badger (WokaWidget) managed to get it working very nicely indeed.

    It's fine if it's after a couple of days like in this case (and it hasn't happened lots of times in the same thread!).
