I hv been tryin some ways to multithread in VB6, somehow they r not safe & msg might lost in da middle

Message queuin is for my sms gateway.. I know VB.net can multithread but my systems r stil runnin on VB6, sometimes d outgoin sms might slow on peak hour mayb 1-3 sms per second, my queue cld hv up to 5000 items & more so they hv to queue up for 20+ minutes to b release, however wen it is not peak hour I can get 8 smses per second

usually da queue stay at 1000 items.. so a multithread is a gd for my system cos it can reduce my wait time at least below 1 minute

would suggest you write the threading part in a dll file and call from vb.

do U hv any sample code on tat? Thks

hmmm, maybe google around?
if i got time, i write one sample for you

ya thnks for helpin, I hv tried some of da samples search from google and stil lookin for a better 1

How is the queue stored?

VB6 is not multithread aware. Even if you could import any WinAPI and multitreaded DLL, chances that it will behave correctly is very low.

outgoin SMSes r store inside Message Queue msmq, da trick I can implement is seperate them into diff queues & process by diff app atda same time

yup da DLL make the VB hang alot
