Dear Firends,
I am doing a complex calculation and I want to use a timer parallely. The thing is that the timer works only after the calculation gets over. It takes around 2 min for the calculation. Is it possible to make the timer work when the calculation is being done.

Thanx in advance

Joshua

If this is VB .NET then you can simply create a thread to execute the calculations.

If this is VB6 you need to use the WinAPI CreateThread function.

Hope this helps,

From within VB6 IDE you should be able to go to tools/add ins/add in manager and then load the WIN32API.txt file and type in CreateThread.

If you can't or won't do that, then google:

CreateThread API VB6
