How do I pass AddressOf method in a class for threading?

[Knight Chat X]

The problem I have is I need to be able to pass the address of a method from another sub or function in a class.

 

The function below does not work as I can't declare as a method, "MyMethod" is a method elsewhere in the program which processes messages.

 

Public Function CreateListeningSocketThreadAndStartMessageProcessing(ByVal MyMethod As Method) As TcpListener

 

CreateListeningSocketThreadAndStartMessageProcessing = New Threading.Thread(AddressOf MyMethod) 'THIS DOES NOT WORK...

 

CreateListeningSocketThreadAndStartMessageProcessing.Start()

 

End Function

 

Is there solution?

MyMethod must be a Sub which has nothing between the ( )

you would need to handle any extra stuff inside the Sub. eg:

myThread = [color=Blue]New[/color] Threading.Thread([color=Blue]AddressOf[/color] MyMethod)

[color=Green]'/// then the Sub[/color]
[color=Blue]Public Sub[/color] MyMethod()
[color=Green]'/// additional code here[/color]
[color=Blue]End Sub[/color]

Thanks!

 

'The problem lies here:

Public Function CreateListeningSocketThreadAndStartMessageProcessing(ByVal MyMethod As Method) As TcpListener

 

I already have a method without parameters for the AddressOf which would work, but the problem is with the MyMethod parameter declaration within the CreateListeningSocketThreadAndStartMessageProcessing function itself, see, there is no Dim Something As Method that I know of. The reason I'm trying to use function in a class is so I can re-use the code for creating the thread within a class, yet still work with the message handler "MyMethod" linked to the thread on main form, this way I can ignore the code within the class and focus more on the events.

 

Public Function CreateListeningSocketThreadAndStartMessageProcessing(ByVal MyMethod As ???) As TcpListener

 

What would the parameter/argument syntax for the function be?
