I am doing an application which takes a long time to process

I would like to allow user to pause the process and avoid freezing the
screen

what should i do ??
please advise!

Thx in advance!

Hi,

Create a thread to do your long process. The thread will work
in the background and not lock the screen. Try running the procedure
outside the thread to see the difference.

Dim mythread As New Threading.Thread(AddressOf LockComputerUp)

mythread.Start()



Private Sub LockComputerUp()

For i As Integer = 1 To 10

'pause 1 second

System.Threading.Thread.Sleep(1000)

Next i

MessageBox.Show("Done")

End Sub
