[korrea80]

Hi all!. Im using Agilent Vee and .NET Framework 2.0. Agilent Vee its a visual language and I can use all libs of .NET Framework 2.0. I want to create some forms who capture some instrument status, I create a form, show, etc ... ok all perfect. But if I move the window, the aplication stop the adquisition. And restart adquisition when I dont move the window. Anyone can help me???? Thanks and regards. P.D. Sorry for my english...

You are probably better of capturing your information on a worker thread. Notice you can't update the GUI from this worker thread, so you would have to get the data to the GUI thread somehow. Some of the options are: 1) Share the data, do a lock when it is updated/read 2) Clone the data and send the data to the GUI though BeginInvoke I can't say which one (or something completely different) is best, it comes down to the data and - not least - your personal taste.

Hi. This is the problem. Agilent Vee crash with .NET Threading... :( The other question is, only GUI stop or all program stop??? If only stop the gui, no problem, the most important its a second work... Thank your for your ideas ;). Best Regards.

If you can't get Vee to work with Threading (and you've confirmed it's not an issue in your code **), you could try a background process that does the acquisition and send the data to the GUI foreground process using a Windows Named Pipe. HTH, Ruth ** Most threading problems arise from invalidly sharing data - either implicitly or explicitly. Keep data sharing to an absolute minimum and ensure you're "lock"ing the rest.
