There are plenty of articles around, but before all that, do you have a book on MFC programming? If not, please buy one. My book recommendations for MFC are here[^] Essay recommendation: Worker Threads[^] UI Threads[^] There are plenty of articles at CP as well, just do a search.

Hello Everyone, I have Demo MFC application, with 2 buttons Start and End Button. Start button will start 2 threads
void CThreadDemoDlg::OnStart()
{
// TODO: Add your control notification handler code hereHANDLE hr1,hr2; hr1 = CreateThread(NULL,0,(unsigned long (\_\_stdcall \*)(void \*))WorkerThreadOne,this,0,0); hr2 = CreateThread(NULL,0,(unsigned long (\_\_stdcall \*)(void \*))WorkerThreadTwo,this,0,0);}
UINT WorkerThreadOne(LPVOID Param)
{
fstream OutFile;
OutFile.open("FileOne.txt",ios::out);for(int i=0;i<10000;i++) OutFile << i << " "; OutFile.close(); return true;}
Can anyone please tell me how to kill the thread ? OnEnd click. Thanking you, Suresh.

You need to add another condition to this loop, something like:
CEvent m_event; // start as non-signaled
for (int i = 0; i < 10000; i++)
{
// set the event to signaled when the End button is clicked
if (WaitForSingleObject(m_event.m_hObject, 0) == WAIT_OBJECT_0)
break;

Can you paste your code snap here? You can also use flag mechanism, its good solution.
//globle variable
HANDLE hr1,hr2;
bool stopTh; //default set to false.void CThreadDemoDlg::OnStart()
{
// TODO: Add your control notification handler code herestopTh = false; hr1 = CreateThread(NULL,0,(unsigned long (\_\_stdcall \*)(void \*))WorkerThreadOne,this,0,0); hr2 = CreateThread(NULL,0,(unsigned long (\_\_stdcall \*)(void \*))WorkerThreadTwo,this,0,0);}
void CThreadDemoDlg::OnEnd()
{
// TODO: Add your control notification handler code herestopTh = true;}
UINT WorkerThreadOne(LPVOID Param)
{
fstream OutFile;
OutFile.open("FileOne.txt",ios::out);for(int i=0;i<10000;i++) { if(stopTh == true) break; OutFile << i << " "; } OutFile.close(); return true;}
Why 1.0/5.0?

Thanks , Yes.. stopTH must be globle or thread function must use through passed class object.

Being global has nothing to do with it. If the compiler detects that nothing in the loop is changing that variable, it will optimize out the check. So even if the secondary thread changes that variable, it will go unseen.

Changing it through the class object = changing it from a different thread (the main thread of the app). Which means it will be optimized away.
