You have a default constructor for CPrintPreviewState in two .cpp files. Why?

Hello Friends,

Is there any way we can make the main thread sleep from within the another user created theread.

I am using the code like below

void fun(void)
{
 ...
 ...
   
   if(Some Condition)
     {
        CreateThread(0, 0, ( LPTHREAD_START_ROUTINE ) ThreadProc, 0, 0, 0 );
        //I want to show some dialog continuously and also the same function (fun) to be running. 
//And So I am using the Thread to call the Function (<code>fun()</code> )       
        DialogBox(...); //
    }
    if (Some Other condition)
        {
           //Here I want the main thread to sleep for some time
         }  

}

void ThreadProc(void)
{

    fun();

}

that depends on the design and implementation of both of your threads.
and also, the context, where the sleep is required matters.
can you share them with us?

----------------------------------------------------------

Suggestion to the members:
prefix your main thread subject with [SOLVED] if it is solved.
chandu.

it seems that, you are landing in some sort of recursion here.

BTW,
i understood that, you want to do some application, which keeps a dialog displayed until you stop it.
am i right?
if so, then i can guide you better.

actully I want to display the Dialog Box Continously untill some events happen and also want that my application run in the background and so i am using the thread.

[ Screen Capture ][ Tool Tip ]

thats what i meant.
i have one active X control made by me to achieve your task.
if you want, i can share it with u.
you have to use it as follows.
your main thread
{
control.start();
//your code which u call as ur background code here
........
........
//control.stop();
}
here, from ur start to stop function, the dialog will be displayed.

Have the main thread create and display a modeless dialog box. This way the box is displayed but the main thread can keep working.

call a model dialog box.. it block the main thread, and you thread will continue to run in background

yes it displays the modeless dialog

[ Screen Capture ][ Tool Tip ]

That wasn't what I meant. I was addressing your statement from the initial post:

CreateThread(0, 0, ( LPTHREAD_START_ROUTINE ) ThreadProc, 0, 0, 0 );
//I want to show some dialog continuously and also the same function (fun) to be running.
//And So I am using the Thread to call the Function (fun() )
DialogBox(...); //

To accomplish this, consider displaying a modeless dialog box and just directly calling the function. This may not be appropriate for your program - it depends on what the function actually does, but you didn't provide enough information.

Judy

do you exactly want some dialog, that displays something like,
"Some task is going on Please Wait......".

then display model dialog.. is there is any problem..

Why you want to make Main Thread Sleep..? this is not good design. as in Sleep State main thread will process nothing. you should change you design to make MianThread do nothing instead of making it sleep.

GauranG33 wrote:
void ThreadProc(void){ fun();}

this will make your worker thread sleep not main thread. as function call is from worker thread not main thread

Bad idea.

i have made a user interface thread and started it using this code

<br />
NetConnect = (CNetConnect*)AfxBeginThread( RUNTIME_CLASS(CNetConnect),<br />
								                          THREAD_PRIORITY_NORMAL,<br />
													  NULL,<br />
													  CREATE_SUSPENDED,<br />
													  NULL);<br />
<br />
NetConnect->ResumeThread();<br />

Now i want to terminate/End this thread. I have tried using

<br />
NetConnect->PostThreadMessage(WM_QUIT,NULL,NULL);<br />

but the thread is still running. How to do end this thread?

Thakns in advance

seems to be solvable, but not clear.
can you put your post in some other way?

what happens if you use of ExitThread?

ExitThread doesn't work well with the UserInterface thread. usually you have to use post quit message.

What are you doing in CNetConnect::Run()?
