what is maximum num of threads use in application?
-
Hi all, please tell me what is the maximum number of threads that i use in my SDI type application. its is safe to generate and handle this large number of threads in application,or there is any othre option to handle this. i have an ListCtrl and this have hundred of items,i want to check all item at same time so i generate thread for each item, but some time there is execption occur when start or stop the thread. please help me for this. thanks in advance.

It is not a good idea to have a large number of threads. You must instead have a fixed number of threads and make use of them for your processing. As for your question on the maximum number of threads, read this blog entry - Pushing the Limits of Windows: Processes and Threads[^]

Rule of thumb: "If in doubt then use just one thread. If you're really in doubt then use just one thread. If you actually need to waste system resources then use two threads". On the serious side,

You would experience no performance gain doing this, unless you have a CPU core per thread. :)

Blocking IO can be a good reason for (over-)threading for performance.
True, but that's not the OP case (or, at least, that doesn't look like the OP case). :)

crap. just think about that for one 1 second. Anyway, depending on what "check" really means it can a _very_ performance degradation. For a better solution to your problem, would be to use the CListCtrl in Virtual Mode, see MSDN[^] for more information.
Watched code never compiles.

Actually he would. I recently put together a little utility that does exactly what the OP wants (I offered it to him but he was not interested). When it had only one thread, it took over 20 minutes to check all of the links (i.e., URLs) in the list (slightly less than 500). When I changed it to check each link in its own thread, the time was dropped to around 2 minutes.

A virtual list control will not help him here. Besides, he has just "hundreds of items", which is not a lot.
I did not know what "Check" was ... :~
