    The simple answer is: you don't. You should never access UI elements from a different thread than the UI thread. If you have to do such a thing, rethink your design. A better option would be to "generate" your data in the thread and then send a user defined message to your window telling it to refresh itself. When receiving the message, your window will then fetch the data and add it to the list control. I think this article[^] will help you a lot for threading.

    Cedric Moonen is right,it's better that UI put in the UI thread.generate data in other thread. :-D

      Help yourself and read the article I linked to you. Threading is not a simple subject that can be explained in 3 lines. If you want to use multithreading and understand what you are doing, then you'll need to spend a bit more time than asking a question on a forum.

      Yes m_listba is global variable.

      That's really ugly, you should make it a member of your dialog class. You can't access it from your thread so why making it a global varialbe ? And by the way, the "m_" suffix is usually applied to class member variables (m for member). If you use it on a global variable, it is totally confusing.

            Then your code cannot compile (unless I missed something or you didn't post everything). Anyway, we can discuss the whole day about minor details as this, it still won't make your code work because you can't access UI elements (like the list box) from a separate thread. Serioulsy, I have the impression to talk to a wall here :sigh: ... Did you read that damn article finally ?

                The worker thread shouldn't directly manipulate the GUI. It should instead post a message to the GUI thread, with in turns updates the GUI. It's not difficult, instead of calling InsertString from within the thread, call PostMessage with appropriate data. On receiving the message, the GUI thread will call InsertString. :)

                  The basic issue is that you're a retard. You've had explained to you why you can't do it, the framework it throwing exceptions, because you can't do it, and you're still trying to do it. Perhaps you should learn VB, or even Logo ?

                    The point is that everything is explained in the article, with an example and everything. And the example is about a list box being "populated" from a worker thread (through a message sent to the UI). So, I think this is a lost cause :sigh:
