Hi,

I've problems with using CreateThread function with VB 5.0.

My question is : how can i use it ?

My code is :

Private declare function CreateThread Lib "Kernel32" _
(lpThreadAttributes as SECURITY_ATTRIBUTES, _
Byval dwStackSize as long, _
lpStartAddress as long, _
lpParameter as Any , _
Byval dwCreationFlags as long, _
lpThreadID as long) as long

' Create the thread
lThread = CreateThread(tSecurity, 0, adressof DialoguerTube,
lHandleTubeServeur, 0, lThreadID)

I get an error number 87 (incorrect parameters).

Can you help me. I'm not sure i'have to use Adressof instruction. How can i
translate
the C-type LPTHREAD_START_ROUTINE with VB.

Thanks !

Salut!

I'm afraid that I have never used the CreateThread function so I cannot provide
insight in this regard.  However, I thought that I should point out that if you
need to use AddressOf, which is probably the case,  you should spell it "
l'anglaise".

You might want to find a different way of doing what you want to do.

I know you stated you are using VB5, but if you ever convert to vb6, your
calls to CreateThread will crash your application.
