DIALOG WITH MULTIPLE THREADS
-
Hi I have Dialog based mfc applciation using visual studio 2013.
Dialog contains multiple controls. It has two threads - main ui thread and worker thread
In a particular control (some static test) i have to show some counts (like number of Cars produced
and Number of Bikes prodcued, and total ). Actually these counts are given by worker thread.
Worker thread continuously gives the counts (that is live data)
I have to update UI from main thread based on these data lively.
Please help me to design this use case. My ui contains multiple controls. I don't want to block the UI
How to pass the data(counts) from worker thread to main thread? how to avoid block in main thread?
Is there any need for queue or another thread?
That is UI will be some thing like
number of Cars produced:10
number of Bikes produced: 20
Total: 30

No, you could just use the PostMessage function[^] from the worker thread to pass a custom window message[^] to the UI thread to update the counts and that would be non-blocking. Best Wishes, -David Delaune

It is how you should use/implement it: [WorkerThreads](http://www.flounder.com/workerthreads.htm)
