How Do I Process Multiple MDI Windows Simultaneously?

Hello, I am a beginner here so pardon my ignorance.  

I have a program in visual basic that is opens 4 MDI child windows.  Each of these windows is able to run its own "process" simultaneously without multithreading.  For example, they are all counting from 1 to 10 simultaneously.  I need to do the same thing in visual c++.  Thus, my question is : firstly, is it possible to run 4 MDI child windows simultaneously each running its own process without resorting to multithreading?  Secondly, how do i do this?

Please advise me. Thanks.

It is impossible, and VB application doesn't work by such way. I guess each VB child window has it's own timer and makes some processing by timer. VB even doesn't have support for multithreading.
The same behaviour can be easily reproduced also in VC++.
