Thread help

[jimNLX]

I'm trying to creat a new thread so I can call a function that has no user interaction and just processes some files. The process takes a long time so I want to use a thread so I can update its status on the main dialog window. I tried AFXBeginThreat(func.cpp) nada! Any help or direction much appriciated! Thanks, Jim

or just use CreateThread() function. search the function in samples of VC CD, there are lots examples there and very easy to be used. includeh10

Or, in fact, don't. CreateThread does not set up the C runtime library correctly. You may get away with it in a project that uses the DLL version of the CRT, because the CRT DLL's DllMain does mostly sort it out. If you're not using MFC, create a new thread with _beginthreadex. If you are using MFC, use AfxBeginThread, because again, some initialisation is required for the new thread.

UINT MyThreadProc( LPVOID pParam );
