how to send a reference/addressof some procedure to a new thread?

[buu Guest]

So, I have a new thread creating something like:

dim myThread as new System.Threading.Thread(AddressOf myProcedure)


but, could I send an any kind of parameter instead of call to myProcedure???
I don't know did I made myself clear, but I would like to have something
like:


public sub StartThread(byref myProc as Object)
dim myThread as new System.Threading.Thread(AddressOf myProc)
mythread.Start
end sub

Yes, but you will need to read up on Delegates.

It would then work out something like:

Public Sub StartThread(ByVal myProc as Delegate)

Dim myThread As New Thread(myProc)

mythread.Start

End Sub>

and you would call it with something like:

StartThread(AddressOf Thread1)

StartThread(AddressOf Thread2)

...

Get the idea?

The same concept can be used to pass event handlers as parameters.

I tried, but it's not working..
I got an error: "AddressOf operand must be the name of method (withoud
parenthesses).

I didn't say it is exactly like that, I said it is something like that.

You will need to read up on delegates to get the syntax correct.
