Multi Threading in skill

[suresh j]

Hi Andrew and all,
Is it possible to fire a function in a separate thread.
Would be very useful to open large cells, we can put opening() function
in a separate thread and work. The problem of editing the same object by
different threads can be solved by having a locking mechanism.

regards,
Suresh J

Nice idea, but not possible at the moment.

There has been the idea of doing this a while back, and some preliminary
investigation was done, but it's a lot of work to implement properly.

Don't rule it out, but it's not on any roadmap right now.

If you have a good use for it, contact customer support via your
usual channels and ask for this as an enhancement - but bear in mind
what I've said above...

Regards,

Andrew.
