Author Background/Callback Routine
Emma

I am looking for a simple example/application that will explain the concept
of callback/background processing in VB6.

I have a VB6 application that loads data into multiple forms and arrays. The
current program loads all the data at once and user must wait for all data to
load before they can do anything.

I want to modify the program to load data for the first screen and allow
user to continue using the application while the rest of the data is loaded
in the background. Any idea on how I can accomplish this?

Thanks
Emma

Being one of my first attempts at writting a technical article this may be
a bit wordy and hard to follow, but it might be of some use in designing
your own background task manager....
