Multi-Threading and Running Windows Forms From Visual FoxPro

摘要

Multi-threading is a powerful feature that lets you asynchronously execute code while continuing to work or provide a responsive user interface to your application. .NET makes multi-threading very easy and in this article, you'll see how to create and execute multi-threaded components and communicate with them via events. In my last article, "Handle .NET Events via COM Interop," published in the October 2005 issue (subscribers can read this article at http://My.Advisor.com/doc/16941), I introduced the concept of multi-threaded .NET components exposed to COM. In that article, I used a simple multithreading example that made a simple e-mail component asynchronous, running on a separate thread and using events to communicate the progress back to a Visual FoxPro client application.
