Typically you do something like
#define WM_MY_CHANGE_CURSOR (WM_APP+1)
In a header file included both by your main thread source file and by the worker thread one. Then, when appropriate (whenever you need to change the cursor), send the message from the worker thread to the main one, for instance
PostMessage(hWnd, WM_MY_CHANGE_CURSOR, wParam, lParam);
Where
hWndis the handle of the main window andwParam, lParammeanings are freely choosen by you (e.g. wParam maybe the index of the intended new cursor). Finally, you properly handle the message (to do the graphics stuff) in the main thread, for instance usingMFCON_MESSAGEmechanism (see [^]). :)If the Lord God Almighty had consulted me before embarking upon the Creation, I would have recommended something simpler. -- Alfonso the Wise, 13th Century King of Castile.
