multi-thread control in using loudmouth

[Xu Peter]

Hi, everyone,

 

I am using loudmouth in an MFC application, in which I used the AfxBeginThread() to create a new thread for loudmouth, and my main thread doing the GUI work.

 

What should I do if I want to close the loudmouth thread in the main thread? I have got a rough search in the MSDN and found this:

 

http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/2s21xzfe(VS.71).aspx

 

It mainly tells that there are two ways to terminate a thread: First is the normal quit from the thread. The other one is called premature termination, which has to call the AfxEndThread() in the thread that would quit. So I can't use both methods, since the loudmouth thread is always in a g_main_loop_run() ...

 

I also noticed the sentence below in the upper URL:

 

"If you want to terminate a thread from another thread, you must set up a communication method between the two threads."

 

Maybe I can communicate with the LM thread with the GMainLoop structure?

Thank you!

I have got though the problem by using CreateThread() instead of AfxBeginThread() to create a thread. It seems that the CWinThread cannot be directly killed by the main thread, but some other can.
