Cool.... What about implimenting a cancel and/or "pause" button to stop/pause the existing threads? OT: one of my biggest questions is about understanding how threads work(or don't) with regard to objects. In my work, I tend to use Excel/MSXML/IE in many of my programs(mainly MSXML though). If I could get a limited number of threads going, each using a different object or possibly sharing the same object with me performing the locks on the threads, that would be ideal. If anyone has any links to sites with help and especially examples, that would be great..... > >Also, has anyone created a PPM for this release yet?

I am glad you and Glenn and a few others have the skills and are sacrificing the time to work on Win32::GUI. I have been using it for over 5 years and I have seen it grow and mature thanks to the hard work of people like you. Joe
