    Hi,

    I made a simple Form1, with Text.Box1 (starting value=1) and Text.Box2 (starting value = 100000).

    I wanted that, when the Form loads,value of Text.Box1 keeps on increasing by 2 and value of Text.Box2 keeps on

    decreasing by 3. I wanted to achieve this by multi-threading.

    Following is the code I wrote, which definitely has some problem with it.

    Imports System.Threading.Thread Public Delegate Sub funcHolder(ByVal diff1234 As Integer) Public Class Form1 Dim i As Integer Dim j As Integer '------------------------------------------------------------- Private Sub Form1_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load Dim upd12Holder As funcHolder Dim upd34Holder As funcHolder upd12Holder = AddressOf upd12 upd34Holder = AddressOf upd34 Dim t12 As New System.Threading.Thread(AddressOf upd12) t12.Start(2) Dim t34 As New System.Threading.Thread(AddressOf upd12) t34.Start(3) End Sub '------------------------------------------------------------- Public Sub upd12(ByVal diff12 As Integer) While (1) TextBox1.Text = TextBox1.Text + diff12 For i = 1 To 10000 'delay loop Next i End While End Sub '------------------------------------------------------------- Public Sub upd34(ByVal diff34 As Integer) While (1) TextBox2.Text = TextBox2.Text - diff34 For j = 1 To 10000 'delay loop Next j End While End Sub '------------------------------------------------------------- End Class It would be very helpful if you could help me identify and correct the problem. Thank you all.
