Re: Threading question

Appreciate it Sergey,

My knowledge on threads is pretty limited. I guess I will try to figure out
how to have my
thread go through one item at a time in the listview and then do the
copying.

Thanks again.

I think multithreaded implementation in this case won't benefit much,
because bottleneck in this case is hard drive but not CPU, unless you
are copying from/to many physical drives.
I suspect in some cases it can be even slower.

Nonetheless, to implement multithreaded copy I would create a Queue
where I put
all items to be copied. Then I would create 3-4 threads, which will
run the same routine.
This routine will take an item from the Queue in loop and perform
corresponding copy operation.
