VB6 Threaded Forms (simple Demo)

[VanGoghGaming]

Yep, I've gathered as much. The good old "Timer" control gets the job done in a pinch. The "Form_Activate" event does exactly the same thing with the only caveat that it needs a "static" boolean variable to make sure it doesn't fire more than one time.

Also I'm a little bummed out that you have to use "CreateObject" versus the "New" keyword when creating new threads. All I could find online was that the former method is called "late bound" while the latter is called "early bound" and that doesn't explain much... I've always used "New" when creating objects so far.

I'll make sure to go through your Mandelbrot tutorial as well since it looks like a fun and enlightening experience.
