Hi,

Question 1: Can a procedure which is launched in thread 1 call another procedure / function ?

Q2: If not, what is the way of calling p2 from p1(threaded) ? Do I need to build a class and include all the called procedures as methods in that class as to be able to call (use) them ?

And all this questions come from a simple need: I need to press pause & stop buttons regarding a procedure that takes a long time to execute.

Cheers,

Mike

HI..

This is more complex that you think, but yes, you can do this kind of things.

Using flags will be a good way...

Maybe you have to read a little about threads?

I found out how to make it work! Actually, if you don't want it very sophisticated, it's quite simple to break execution of a "long" procedure:

a. define a procedure which sets a breaking flag (Sub BreakProc)
b. start procedure BreakProc in a different thread
c. test the flag in your "long" procedure

(See this very useful and simple link http://www.devx.com/getHelpOn/10Minu...20365/0/page/1 about threads in VB.)

Don't forget to kill the thread of BreakProc after you stopped your "long" procedure.

Cheers,

Mikey

PS. Of course, this is just the tip of the iceberg of working with threads.
