RE: fcgi and Visual Basic

Hi Adrian,

I work with John and we experimented with your VB friendly interface to
fcgi.  It works a treat.  The app we wanted to fcgi-enable needs a Form
with components to do some special back-end stuff, etc - and from there
we can also see stats and instruct the app to shutdown, etc.
Unfortunately, when we fcgi-enabled this app we found that Form
interaction is suspended while waiting for fcgi-accept to return a
request.  When the request is being processed we can issue DoEvents
which gives the UI a shot at the cpu, so if the requests are thick and
fast the UI is pretty responsive.

I took a look at a ThreadFactory component and another threading class
to give the UI its own thread (without great success), but feel that
really we would have to re-architect our app in order to achieve what we
want.  

This is not really an fcgi issue and more of a VB limitation issue, but
have you encountered this situation yourself?  Any advice?

Cheers.. Karl and John

Hi John

I have done this - it's crude and was never intended for public release,
but
it works.

I can dig out the relevant sources if you wish
