Threading

In VB6, threading was non-existant to all but a few programmers who knew how to tap into the Windows API. This is a brief overview of how to use threading. The below example is how you would declare two threads and start them running.

Sub One
    dim t1 as thread, t2 as thread
    
    t1 = new thread(addressof countto10)
    t2 = new thread(addressof countto100)

    t1.start()
    t2.start()
End Sub

Sub CountTo10()
    dim x as integer
	
    For x = 1 to 10
        Console.writeLine x
    next
end sub

Sub CountTo100()
    dim x as integer
	
    For x = 1 to 100
        Console.writeLine x
    next
end sub
