VB6 as Terminal Server

[lesmccoy]

I am very new to programing.

Can you guys tell me VB6 is okay to use when developing a terminal server program for approximately 20 users?

Welcome to the Forums.

Sure its good to use VB6 for that but you could use almost any development enviroment, it just depends on how you design it.

Thanks for confirming that.

I have created a project with one form and on that form I have a winsock control which is arrayed. As a new user connects to the server the number of winsocks is increased.

I am using a unique index that is passed into nested if statements to jump the user to correct location in the program because I have to wait for responses back form the terminal.

I have concerns about multipule users access the program and having to wait until another program thread is finished. Is there anyway I can allow more than process to happen at once.

Ah so you are talking about multi-threadding your app. Well VB6 is not a true multithreaded development language. The best you can do is take a single thread and "simulate" multithreadding.

Check out wokawidgets multithreadding codebank submission. Its a good place to start but this is not a simple subject.
