[CLOSED] How to handle a callback using background threads?
Hi everyone!
I would like to know how can I create new a thread to execute slow tasks and handle a callback.
In the example below I have 3 buttons, the first do a slow task in the main thread, while the third do the same task but with a new thread. Notice that the second button waits the slow one to execute a fast job, an this is what I want to avoid with a new thread. I understand why this behaviour happens, I Just want a suggestion how can I easily parallelize server jobs without stuck the client.
Thanks.
