Multi Threading

[mdijkens]

As stated in the opening post you can use timers when that is enough.
Ive used sometines

Code: (Select All)

  Dim thread(0 To 9) As Integer

  For t% = 0 To 9: thread(t%) = _FreeTimer: Next t%

  On Timer(thread(0), .01) processRequest 0

  On Timer(thread(1), .01) processRequest 1

  On Timer(thread(2), .01) processRequest 2

  On Timer(thread(3), .01) processRequest 3

  On Timer(thread(4), .01) processRequest 4

  On Timer(thread(5), .01) processRequest 5

  On Timer(thread(6), .01) processRequest 6

  On Timer(thread(7), .01) processRequest 7

  On Timer(thread(8), .01) processRequest 8

  On Timer(thread(9), .01) processRequest 9

  For t% = 0 To 9: Timer(thread(t%)) On: Next t%

Another option when I really wanted to run several (long running) process in parallel was to use

Code: (Select All)

Shell -DONTWAIT

on several separate executables
It's not much, but it can work in some cases
