hello

I'm looking to to have my instances of an object run asynchronously, e.g. do work at the same time

how would I go about doing this? I know how to make a thread inside one class and have it execute one function over and over, but my class has many functions within and I need to make the whole class run inside a thread.

any help greatly appreciated! thanks! :D

You say your "class has many functions"; what determines what executed when? Does the class execute the various member functions or do the need to be executed from outside the thrad?

Yes, the class has many methods. And the class itself executes all the methods from within itself.

The class does not talk to the window which is Form1, that is done by a thread which polls the classes for new messages (if instance[0].messageQueue.Count > 0) in that fashion

so they are independent, and independet from eachother as well

just need them to run simultaneously so I don't need to run multiple copies of the software

Sorry, I still don't understand what you need to do; I hope others do.

well, I have multiple instances of a class

currently they run after each other

I need them to run with each other, at the same time

How many instances of classes do you have?

Yes, that is what asychronous means. I understood that part.
