I´m confused... Isn´t threading about
having more than one thread running in
the same process, calling a ActiveX.exe
is out of process... ?

It may not in the same process, but COM
allows processes to interact. This is
also used in distributed computing.
[see Deth's readme in the zip]

your right knoton, this isnt true
threading in the c/c++ sense, a better
word would be multiprocessing i
guess... however the activex is set to
create a thread per object, so you
essentially have one seperate process
from your main app, where all the
multithreading takes place, the one
activex can start many threads

i forgot to mention that you can also
use an activex exe project as your
replacement for a standard exe project,
(activex exe can show forms) and then
it would be more multithreaded
in-process as you can with c/c++,
activex exe are really an underused
goldmine of power in vb...

''in the c/c++ sense'' - you mean in
any sense. The meaning of
Multi-Threading isn't dependant on a
language, just as the idea of a Process
doesn't have to do with any language.

take a look at the hall of fame here --
there is a tutorial how to do it with
activex exe in the same process (not
the one in first place -- it's
rubbish). also, matt curlands "advanced
VB" might be of interest here -- i'm
using his impl in production systems
for an year now very
successfully.
cheers,

what i meant by "in the c/c++ sense"
was the idea of creating a thread and
calling functions by address, something
not easily done in vb6. The context of
which most people think of it is in
c/c++, but yes it can be done in other
languages, .net for instance does it
nicely and easily...

All you guys sound confused about what
multi-threading is. I will explain it
as simply as possible. Multi-threading
is when my grandma uses more than one
thread to sew the seams of my pants.
There are many uses for multi-threading
including doubling up on the thread
used to sew patches on old jeans. It is
useful, increases security and
minimizes vulnerabilities of potential
future rips or tears. I hope that
clears everything up! Cheers :-)

Hmmm, this code looks a bit of Dan
Applemans Active X Threading
Principles. Deth, r u sure this is YOUR
code ???
