Mike, glad you jumped on this matter, is so good to have members of the Fox team here.
There is a couple of Dlls made by Remus Russano here in the UT (file 1367) that
allows us to call MTDLLs using their multithreading capacity right from VFP.
I have tested them running a form from my command window and executing asynchronously up to 5 calls
to one MTDLL and it works great. No MTS required.
By the way, it is not that 5 calls is the limit, that's all I have pushed it.
To me this is a
BIG thing.
So, if we can have asynchronous calls to MTDLLs from VFP using Remus' DLLs, it would be possible
to incoporate that functionality implemented in the product? VFP7? Maybe VFP7 SP1?
Maybe something as VFPCOM.dll?
