VB 6.0 Multithreading

Hi Timo,

in a rather old newsgroups posting at microsoft.public.de.vb in 2003 (see this) you wrote that you have a code sample regarding the execution of threads in a VB 6.0 app.

May I ask whether you still have the samples lying somewhere around on your hd and could upload them or did I make myself some false hope? Would be great if you could help me out,

Hi again,

Thanks for the quick response. I've done some group search for Matthew Curland and found this comment from himself on multithreading in VB 6.0. Basically, he writes that the often-cited article from Dan Appleman is twisting some facts about threads in vb, and thus can be disregarded.

Btw, the code you have attached needs some update to work correctly on windows 2000 and xp. I'm including it here for the sake of completeness.
