Multithreading in PocketPC

[Bangerman]

I have a multithreaded COM object I want to convert to Pocket PC. I have added the build type and appropriate build options but I find that there is no _beginthread function. Does the pocketPC support multiple threads and if so, can you point me to an example.

_beginthread is a function in the desktop C runtime which wraps up the underlying CreateThread operating system function. On the desktop, you should always use _beginthread or _beginthreadex to ensure that the C runtime is properly initialised. On Windows CE, the C runtime is integrated into the OS, as part of the core system DLL coredll.dll. CreateThread handles initialising the C runtime for the new thread in addition to its other tasks. Therefore _beginthread is not necessary and is omitted. You should use CreateThread.

Stability. What an interesting concept. -- Chris Maunder

Thank you, and of course.
