Syncronisation problem

[VCProgrammer]

Hi all, I am having a problem. I am having two threads, one thread i doing some work inside a for loop and inside that for loop its making a call for second thread. My problem is that my first thread should not resume its working untill thread2 finishes it work, and after thread2 has finished its work it should start its working after thread2 was called. Can i use CEvent for this??? I am not getting how to do it. Thanks in advance

Have a look at this[^] for basic usage of event object. You can use the same logic to use CEvent on you own. You may find this[^] code project article useful too.

Sounds like a good time to use WaitForSingleObject() in the first thread, waiting for an event or some other object to get notified/released/set in the second thread.

So why are you using threads? This is serial processing not parallel, so using threads does not provide any advantage.
