Thread join in MFC

[Coder]

hi, in my multithreaded application i need to wait for a thread to finish
its work.

example:
// i create thread like that
::AfxBeginThread(..) // returns a CWinThread *

// My question is, in this case how can i use a mechanism like thread.join()
??

thanks in advance..

[Coder]

CWinThread *my_thread;

my_thread = AfxBeginThread(...);

..
.

::WaitForSingleObject(my_thread, INFINITE);

// WaitForSingleObject seems OK, any comments??

WaitForSingleObject(my_thread->m_hThread, INFINITE);

You also need to set the m_bAutoDelete field to false. Otherwise, the
CWinThread* could be deleted.

CWinThread* pthr = AfxBeginThread(..., CREATE_SUSPENDED, ...);
pthr->m_bAutoDelete = FALSE;

...

::WaitForSingleObject(pthr->m_hThread, INFINITE);
delete pthr;

Use WaitForSingleObject and related functions. See this message for much
more on this and other MFC multithreading issues:
