1) "Easy Multi-Threading with Visual FoxPro" - by Kevin Ragsdale
Encore Southwest Fox presentation live from Southwest Tennessee...
For years, FoxPro developers have longed for multi-threading capabilities. Thankfully, several developers have found ways to provide multi-threaded capability in Visual FoxPro applications.
I've used (and tried to use) every published method I know of to create multi-threaded applications, but the easiest method I've found (by far) is by using Christof's DMULT.DLL.
In this session, we'll look at multi-threading and use Christof's DMULT.DLL to easily add multi-threaded capability to a Visual FoxPro application. We'll create event handlers to act as callback objects for our multi-threaded DLL's. We'll also look at some disadvangtages of multi-threading.
You will learn:
-What is multi-threading?
-The advantages (and disadvantages) of multi-threading
-An introduction to Christof's DMULT.DLL
-Creating event handlers for multi-threaded DLL's
-Real-world examples of how DMULT.DLL has improved my apps
2) Anything else people want to talk about.
We are always looking for volunteers and topics.
