Multithreading (with object)

[microkarl]

Hi all,

In creating multithreading in the application, a lot of people would do somthing like this:

Dim Thread1 as New System.Threading.Thread(Address of counter.Count)

where counter.Count is a Timer, and what the code does is assign a timer in the entry point of a new thread and when the timer ticks, it goes to a place (usually a queue) to get the object and process it (Maybe I am wrong, let me know).

 

Now, my question is, instead of assigning a timer (or some function/subroutine that does not have a parameter) to the thread, can I assign a subroutine that has a parameter to a timer.

 

Thanks

Although you can't assign a method that requires a parameter to a thread you can create an object that accepts either parameters for it's constructor or exposes them as properties and pass a method of the class to the thread constructor.

Is there any example (even in brief) that I can reference to?? Thanks for your help
