Hi,
I have an application that is required to print labels.

One issue that I would like to clean up is that the application hangs for a
time while it prints the required label.

I have a Class to take care of the printing.

Could someone explain how I can call this class and have it run in another
thread so that it goes off and prints in the background?

Thanks

Doug

Using systems.threadi ng
Dim objclass1 as new class1
Dim Thread1 as New System.Threadin g.Thread(Addres s of
objclass1.print ())

One more step after the last that Shivprasad listed.

Thread1.Start

Make sure that your print method exits when it is finished, so that the
associated thread is terminated.
