How to use thread for function with parameters.

Hi,

I have thread declared in this way. Dim t As New Thread(AddressOf
ThreadProc). Here ThreadProc is a function with two parameters. But i am not
able to use function name with addressof, It accepts only if it is 'Sub' and
not 'function'.
Can anyone help me with some good example, to use thread for functions with
some parameters.

thanking u,

regards,

Hi Sivaraman,

The common practice , I beleive, is to encapsulate your method in some class
, or have the arguments as member variables of the class which the function
is part of.
Then before calling the start method set the variables.
The threaded function will then use these variables.
These variables must be shared/static as the thread function also needs to
be the same.

See the following Google Group Thread for some code example nearly
equivalent to above description.
