Finally someone posts the appropriate response to the VFP
multithreaded question!!
Way to go Ted!!
While I don't disagree with people saying that VFP is not the correct
choice for multithreaded apps, ( I agree it's not the best choice
there ), most programmers I've met have no real idea what they need
it for, and how in most cases the same functionality can be
implemented (and much more easily) by using timers (regardless if
we're talking VFP or VB FWIW).
Hats off Ted!

Hi everybody.
I want to buit multithreading application. But in VFP, I don't know how to
use multithreading. Anyone can help me. Thanks for your help.
Many of the times I have thought that I needed to run multiple
threads, what I really needed to do was the ability to switch from one
task to another. Running multiple threads means that you have to be
able to synchronize them, detect when a thread is blocked, determine
how to gracefully end a thread, etc. While there are situations where
you need this, often times you can write a much simpler
single-threaded application with a timer to do occasional tasks, or a
central controller application to switch tasks upon task completion.
If you give us more details on what you have in mind, I expect many
forum members will have some constructive suggestions.
