Hey I had a great idea on how to implement multithreading without jacking up anyone's legacy code. Have LiveCode work along a single thread as usual, but add the keywords "in new thread" to the do command or open stack command. That way someone could invoke a new threaded process, or launch a stack in a new thread etc if they wanted, but not hose anything someone had already written. You could launch a progress bar that you could monitor the state of an operation and provide real feedback for instance, without having to poke your head out of a running command from time to time.
Any thoughts? Bob _______________________________________________ use-livecode mailing list use-livecode@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-livecode
