Can I raise Exception in one thread and handle it in another?
-
Hi, I am a bit curious.. Can I raise exception (with RaiseException()?) and get it handled in another thread?? This is needed for operation stop-functionality. I thought it would be nice to have one dialog where is stop button, and it stops whatever the main thread is doing.. Does anybody know how it is done in Visual Studio? It's possible to freeze the debugged process anytime, when debugging.

I do not think that the exception will cross threads. I would suggest using a Win32 Event object, because it can be seen by multiple threads, and signal it in one thread to indicate the other to stop processing. Peace!

Is the dialog modal?

No, the handler has to be somewhere in the throwing thread's call stack.
