I assume that when you say "looping construct", you're not referring to
things like for, while, do-while, etc. Could you explain what you're talking
about? I'm guessing you mean run loops on detached threads, and if so, are
you referring to using custom input sources for threads? I've seen a fair
amount of code that detaches a thread to a method with a while(!done) { //
code here } structure. Is there a better way?
