CWinThread Termination

How to Terminate a thread created from CWinThread, without checking flag in thread function or ::TerminateThread (WinAPI)? Example: CWinThread* Obj; Obj = AfxBeginThread(ThreadProc, this); UINT ThreadProc(LPVOID *pVoid) { while(1) { //do something } return 0; } Now I want to terminate the ThreadProc without using flag or TeminateThread? Thanks in Adavance :)

Just exit the thread function using a
returnstatement (which is missing but required in your example code). After adding the missingreturnstatement, you may then alsobreakout of the endlesswhileloop. -

That was not really clear. Then you have to signal the thread that it should terminate. If you don't want to use a global flag, use some kind of event. To check for events use
WaitForSingleObjectorWaitForMultipleObject(when multiple events must be handled). Examples can be found in any MFC thread tutorial. An old but very good article is: Using Worker Threads[^] (see the Thread Shutdown Without Polling section). Also available at WorkerThreads[^]. -

The cleanest way to exit the thread is to return from the thread procedure. And it is exactlz what your ThreadProc does! So, nothing more!
