[alan top]

if not, how to use thread in the activex ? alantop

[Stephen Hewitt]

AfxBeginThread is an MFC function. If you're using MFC then you can use this; if not use beginthread or beginthreadex (CRT) or CreateThread (Win32). Unless you know what you're doing prefer the CRT functions. Steve

The CRT functions are required if you're going use the CRT library (these functions initializes the CRT for each new thread). A fact which I was not aware until recently. :sigh:

Me too! I discovered that only this week and I now use _beginthreadex exclusively. If you use CRT (especially date/time) functions in a thread, then without _beginthread[ex] you will leak memory - OK, not a lot, but a leak is still a leak.
