我正在尝试将我的程序制作成一个多线程应用程序,但我遇到了我在以下代码中记录的一对障碍。非常感谢我能获得的任何帮助以使其正常运行,因此我可以将此存根扩展为我现有应用程序的更有效版本。
感谢您对此事的任何建议。- 亚伦

'HELP: When I force the form to quit, the 'termination alert' does not trigger, instead the application hangs completely on Thread.Join (see above).
'HELP: If I remove DoEvents(), the form is unable to be closed...it simply goes unresponsive. Shouldn't the multithreading keep us from needing DoEvents()?
