Make Main Thread sleep [modified]
-
Hello Friends, Is there any way we can make the main thread sleep from within the another user created theread. I am using the code like below
void fun(void)
{
...
...if(Some Condition)
{
CreateThread(0, 0, ( LPTHREAD_START_ROUTINE ) ThreadProc, 0, 0, 0 );
//I want to show some dialog continuously and also the same function (fun) to be running.
//And So I am using the Thread to call the Function (fun())
DialogBox(...); //
}
if (Some Other condition)
{
** //Here I want the main thread to sleep for some time**
}}
void ThreadProc(void)
{fun();}

Why you want to make Main Thread Sleep..? this is not good design. as in Sleep State main thread will process nothing. you should change you design to make MianThread do nothing instead of making it sleep.

this will make your worker thread sleep not main thread. as function call is from worker thread not main thread

it seems that, you are landing in some sort of recursion here. BTW, i understood that, you want to do some application, which keeps a dialog displayed until you stop it. am i right? if so, then i can guide you better.
actully I want to display the Dialog Box Continously untill some events happen and also want that my application run in the background and so i am using the thread.

thats what i meant. i have one active X control made by me to achieve your task. if you want, i can share it with u. you have to use it as follows. your main thread { control.start(); //your code which u call as ur background code here ........ ........ //control.stop(); } here, from ur start to stop function, the dialog will be displayed.

call a model dialog box.. it block the main thread, and you thread will continue to run in background

Have the main thread create and display a modeless dialog box. This way the box is displayed but the main thread can keep working. Judy
yes it displays the modeless dialog

That wasn't what I meant. I was addressing your statement from the initial post: CreateThread(0, 0, ( LPTHREAD_START_ROUTINE ) ThreadProc, 0, 0, 0 ); //I want to show some dialog continuously and also the same function (fun) to be running. //And So I am using the Thread to call the Function (fun() ) DialogBox(...); // To accomplish this, consider displaying a modeless dialog box and just directly calling the function. This may not be appropriate for your program - it depends on what the function actually does, but you didn't provide enough information. Judy
