Hello! :)

I'm making a litle program with WinHTTP.

I use this form to load the HTML page:

do
{
   WinHTTP1->URL = "www.zzzzzz.com";
   WinHTTP1->Read(true);

   DoSomethingWithThePage();
}
while(to_continue == true);

The to_continue is set to false if the user press a button named "cancel".

The HTML text is put in a AnsiString when the event OnDone (of WinHTTP) 
is executed.

I set Read(...) to true, because I need to load the page entirely before 
continue the loop (and do something with the page ;) hehehe).

I'd like to know if is safe to put this code on a thread (i don't know 
much of threads...), because if I do SOMETHING in my program, like click 
a buton, menu etc, or move de bar on the Memo that show the results of 
DoSomethingWithThePage() this looping freezes until I stop what I'm 
doing, and I'd like that this don't happens ;)

If this is possible, can someone show-me a simple code to put this piece 
of code on a thread?

Thanks :)
