okay I'm making this feature in which you type
/xcommand <arg>
and it sets some code running invisibly in the background....anyone know how to do this?

oh, and it returns control back to messenger, while this code is running in the background

use threads... BUT the result of the thread cannot be sent to the chatwindow... unless you use a command to retrieve the result... and before you ask... i have no idea on how to use threads  in vb

how do I use threads??? any examples? sorry but someone else mite kno

i think you might find it more useful to search on google... its not very easy to explain stuff like that

lol well I've found a way of doing what I want using a timer, but where the hell would I place on and it's code?

~place the timer? in the options explicit bit? someone help me

1st: Don't try to use threads with VB6. If you want to use threads, use VC++
2nd: Look for the Win32 API docummentation to see which API calls are reqired to manage threads.
3rd: wipey: Do you know that there is an edit button, so you can edit your posts and to not post twice?
4th: wipey: Why do you ask a lot of things about programing? It seems like you can't code

1st: I'm not trying to use threads actually if you notice I found a timer would be adequate
2nd: no....you can't read
3rd: I know there's an edit button, I jus didnt click it this time
4th: I can program, just not dlls, I mainly program in php and VB.NET and have never programmed a fucking dll b4

sorry but don't act like such a knob head

sorry can I just say what I originally meant to ask?

where do you put code like functions and timers in a dll?
