new (thread)

Syntax

thread().new(newThreadName {, stackSize})

Description

Multiuser Server server-side command; creates a new thread with the name newThreadName. To specify a stack size, include the optional stackSize parameter. The stack size grows dynamically while Lingo instructions execute, as needed. For simple tasks, use a small stack size. For complex tasks, do not specify a stack size.

Example

This statement creates a new thread called thread7 with a stack size of 128 bytes:

myThread = thread().new("thread7", 128)
