Hi there,
This one is really doing my head in, I am attempting to start a thread
using the following code,
--------------------
Public Sub start()
cTrdImportThrea d = New Threading.Threa d(AddressOf
cTrdImportThrea d_Callback)
With cTrdImportThrea d
.Name = Tiger_AssemblyI nfo.assemblyRoo tNamespace &
".PowerPointImp orter"
.IsBackground = False
End With
Try
Call cTrdImportThrea d.Start()
Catch ex As Exception
MessageBox.Show (ex.ToString)
End Try
MessageBox.Show ("Thread started!, state = " &
cTrdImportThrea d.ThreadState.T oString & ".")
End Sub
Private Sub cTrdImportThrea d_Callback()
MessageBox.Show ("Hello??")
End Sub
--------------------
Even though no exception is raised when calling "Start" the thread never
starts, the message box at the end of the start routine states that the
thread is unstarted. It's as if the object does nothing what so ever. Any
ideas on why this is happening?? It has only started happening recently but
I'm unsure as to why.
Thanks loads for your help in advance!!

Nick,
We have a long time not seen, I see this when there are licence problems,
than I start searching for your name. With Nick Paterman there are not much
only with that other nick.
I find this so nice writing. "Nick has now changed his nick in Nick", The
previous was more distinct.
However I have pasted your code (slightly changed because I don't have that
class that you use) in a form
I get two messageboxes showed each over each other, so the problem is in my
idea not in this code part.
\\\
Private Sub cTrdImportThrea d_Callback()
MessageBox.Show ("Hello??")
End Sub
Private Sub Form1_Load(ByVa l sender As System.Object, _
ByVal e As System.EventArg s) Handles MyBase.Load
Dim cTrdImportThrea d As New Threading.Threa d(AddressOf
cTrdImportThrea d_Callback)
With cTrdImportThrea d
.Name = "whatever"
.IsBackground = False
End With
Try
Call cTrdImportThrea d.Start()
Catch ex As Exception
MessageBox.Show (ex.ToString)
End Try
MessageBox.Show ("Thread started!, state = " &
cTrdImportThrea d.ThreadState.T oString & ".")
End Sub
I hope it helps something

Hi Cor, We have a long time not seen, I see this when there are licence problems,
than I start searching for your name. With Nick Paterman there are not
much only with that other nick.
I find this so nice writing. "Nick has now changed his nick in Nick", The

Yeah I thought it best to change my name from Nak to Nick, just incase
someone decides to accuse me of concealing my identity again, not that I
have any need to of course. :-)

Private Sub cTrdImportThrea d_Callback()
MessageBox.Show ("Hello??")
End Sub
Private Sub Form1_Load(ByVa l sender As System.Object, _
ByVal e As System.EventArg s) Handles MyBase.Load
Dim cTrdImportThrea d As New Threading.Threa d(AddressOf
cTrdImportThrea d_Callback)
With cTrdImportThrea d
.Name = "whatever"
.IsBackground = False
End With
Try
Call cTrdImportThrea d.Start()
Catch ex As Exception
MessageBox.Show (ex.ToString)
End Try
MessageBox.Show ("Thread started!, state = " &
cTrdImportThrea d.ThreadState.T oString & ".")
End Sub
That's has produced to stranges results ever, from changing the name
from something that previously worked to something to "whatever" causes the
thread to start in about 10 seconds after start is called!! The application
is at rest when start is called so I'm really confused as to what is
actually happening there. But the good thing is that it is actually doing
something now! :-D
Thanks loads for your help, looks like i'm going to have to search a
little deeper into this problem :-\
Nick.
Actually just to add another element of confusion to that, on another system
the thread never starts! woooooooooo.... .

Well I've found the problem now and it was completely unrelated to the
treading code. I was using incorrect versions of some primary interop DLL's
which were either not loading at all or taking ages to load! Though one
thing I am unsure of is why the DLL was being loaded when the thread was
being started as opposed to when the class was initialized. Anyway, a
problem sorted none the less :-)

Nick,
Are you sure you want to set that IsBackGround to false, I assume that you
want True

My application takes 5 or 6 seconds to load because of the time required to
communicate with web services and load from the database. In the meantime
I'd like to show a splash screen in a seperate thread.
I am trying the following code and it shows the form for a split second and
then dissapears. Can someone help me out with what I'm doing wrong here.

I have a dll that I call to start a thread that will monitor a serial port
and then process and store the data received from that port.
On most every computer I have run this on, the program works perfectly.
However, I have a Panasonic CF-51 laptop that fails when I try to launch the
thread.
It works on other CF-51's, it only fails on this particular computer.
I get no exceptions; it simply reports the threadstate as Stopped.
