Conversation: Calvin adds more meat to multithreading

Subject: Calvin adds more meat to multithreading

Calvin has added more "meat" to his article on multithreading with VFP:

http://blogs.msdn.com/calvin_hsia/archive/2006/05/16/599108.aspx

"Create multiple threads from within your application

When I posted this Sample program to create multiple threads

<http://blogs.msdn.com/calvin_hsia/archive/2006/05/11/595562.aspx> , I knew

the inevitable follow-up question was "can I run my VFP code in separate

threads?". Sure enough, several people asked, citing various valid usage

scenarios.

Below is a class that you can use to run your VFP code in multiple separate

threads. It can create as many threads as you like, each of which is running

VFP code. Because it is a multithreaded sample, it requires the

multithreaded runtime, which is just a few megabytes."

Very good reading.
