AfxBeginThread() ???????????
-
Hi everybody, i am using a simple thread in my program, when i launch the thread it works , but slows my machine, in the task manager the CPU usage is 100% until the thread is ended. I am using simple AfxBEginThread(..) function ,is there any other way to make thread work , without slowing down my PC??? With Best Regards m0n0

The mere existence of a secondary thread will not cause the CPU usage to jump to 100%. You are doing something in this thread to cause that. Without seeing your code, it's impossible to say.

Well... The AfxBeginThread function will simple create a thread to do work on the controller function you specify. So the CPU usage is down to what's in the function you write. If you write a function which crunches numbers in a loop or whatver, then your CPU usage will go to 100% while the function keeps crunching. However, if you only need to run a calculation intermittently try using Sleep(100), or CEvents to put the thread into suspended animation giving the rest of the threads time to do their jobs.

Change your priority to THREAD_PRIORITY_IDLE instead of the default which is normal. That'll lower the thread priority so it won't take your system with it. The command would be:
CWinThread * threadptr = AfxBeginThread(
pfnThreadProc, // thread function
pParam, // pointer to data to use
THREAD_PRIORITY_IDLE, // the idle priority, was THREAD_PRIORITY_NORMAL
0, // stack size, 0 means default size
0, // create and run immediately, don't suspend on creation
NULL // no security attributes
);
