2 procedures simultaneously

[tonio]

is it possible for 2 procedures to process simultaneously? ex. command one contains a loop procedure and command two has another procedure of its own..what i want is that when the loop procedure in command one starts i want to be able to click command two without pausing the loop procedure...is this possible??? thanks in advance

there's a command u can put called DoEvents I tihnk it's supposed to let u click on things while a loop is going, Ive never tested it though

you need to create a new thread some how. maybe some api functions

DoEvents allows you to let other events get triggered only. I created 2 command buttons. Put DoEvents in both the Command_Click functions and made each command button increment the value of two different text boxes. When Command1 was clicked textbox1 incremented. When Command2 was clicked textbox2 was incremented. But textbox1 stopped incrementing

I believe what you want to do is asynchronous threading... For which VB lacks any serious support. You can get by using activex exes.. but again, a poor solution.

VB has support for asyncronisation. But VB5 is more stable than VB6. I have attached a small project showing it. But it was so unstable that, my vb6 crashed 6 times and computer twice.
You can see the asyncronisation but, when you close the form, vb crashes.
