    You are correct, you should NOT be using the CreateThread()[^] Win API version if you are using MFC (Again, look at the remarks section of CWinThread class to know why). But, if you want that kind of functionality (which you may need with UI threads), you can then create a CMyThread object and then call CMyThread::CreateThread() when you want the thread to start execution. (CMyThread is a CWinThread derivative.)

      Hi, I need to create new thread if I click on particular button in my MFC application.I have added following code.

      AfxBeginThread( CRuntimeClass* pfnThreadProc,LPVOID pParam,
      int nPriority = THREAD_PRIORITY_NORMAL,UINT nStackSize = 0,
      DWORD dwCreateFlags = 0,LPSECURITY_ATTRIBUTES lpSecurityAttrs = NULL);
      UINT CTestcycleDlg::pfnThreadProc(LPVOID pParam )
      {
      }

      I am getting errors one of thoes error is error C2275: 'CRuntimeClass' : illegal use of this type as an expression I have created user interface thread.Is it correct.Where I need to close thread and how to close

        What is this? Are you trying to call AfxBeginThread(), or just duplicate the prototype?

                Still?! Are you kidding me? I gave you link to an excellent UI thread tutorial yesterday. Did you read it or not? Why are you "searching" for code, BTW? You're supposed to write code if you are a programmer of any kind.

                      Bookmark the MVP Tips[^] page. There's plenty of good essays there. Look for "Using Worker Threads" essay for your purpose.

                        Did you even bother to read the article that Rajesh provided? If you had, you would have noticied a link to this. :rolleyes:
