I am trying to use an ocx created by programmer friend, This ocx has threads
in it.
It crashes VB6 IDE.
Question, Is it safe to use multi threaded ocs's?

I guess this control must, therefore, be written in C++, or at least
something other than VB6

A multi-threaded control is OK as long as the additional threads are "well
behaved". If they try to call-back any VB code, or access any VB objects,
then it will crash.

Note that there was a similar question to yours posted in
microsoft.public.vb.general.discussion on 12-sep-2003, entitled "Calling
back VB code from a multithreaded component". Have you read that one? It
might give you some more information.
