cout uses C++ runtime features, which are not initialized when you create thread by calling Win32 API (CreateThread). If you want to use streams or anything which is provided by runtime, you need to create your thread with _beginthread or _beginthreadex.

Use _beginthreadex instead. The CreateThread function don't initialize the CRT (C-RunTime, not Cathodic Ray Tube  correctly, so this might be your problem.

** OK, let's assume I don't use cout, but printf instead **
How do I use the Visual Studios so I can trace into my thread function?

Just set a break point in your thread routine.

I did that. It didn't go into the thread function.

Strange, very strange...
Maybe someone else has seen this before. Like you, since it created the handle, the thread was at least started. I would have expected some type of dialog box if it tossed an exception.
When you call CreateThread, are you having to do any type casting to get the routine to accept your routine?

This is my code:
DWORD WINAPI StreamHandler(LPVOID lpParam)
{
//Thread function code
printf("I am in the thread\n");
}
//Create TCP/IP Thread
sThread = CreateThread(NULL,0,StreamHandler,NULL,0,&sThreadID);
if (sThread == NULL)
cout << "Create Stream Thread Failed\n";
else
CloseHandle(sThread);
It's pretty simple, I don't know why it doesn't execute.

Something else is going on. I just tried that code and it worked just fine.

Hmm, are you exiting your program right after the create thread?
If so, then your thread probably doesn't even have the chance to execute.

That is what I realized too. Hopefully there is more to the program than just those lines.

Yes, but he called CloseHandle right after creating the thread

It doesn't stop the thread. I found much evidence on groups.google.com that if you don't care about syncing on the handle, then closing it right after creation is very common.

I do end the program after I create the thread what do I do to give it time to execute? No one mentioned this when I was reading up on threads...
What should I do put a sleep in?
|
|
|
|
|
Did that work for you? I received some kind of memory leak... Does this sound familiar?

cout, printf, same sh*t. As a matter of fact, cout uses printf to perform its job (or at least fome function from stdio.h.

Just forget CreateThread, and use _beginthreadex instead.

Are you *really* going to draw tree control yourself? The lines, +/- buttons, icons, text?
If not, you may consider custom-draw, which allows you to draw only selected parts.

Hi!
Thanks for writing back.
This is what I want to do. I am not sure what to use - custom draw or owner draw. Maybe you can tell me what is best.
I don't have the +/- signs in my tree. I have an image list associated with the tree. Some items have icons and some don't. For those items with icons, I want to display the icon and the text a few pixels right to where the tree ctrl draws it, basically indent further.
Any ideas on how to do this?

So all you need is extra indentation for tree items? Or you just want to display something in this extra space?
Anyway, go with custom-draw. There's no owner-draw for tree controls; you'd have to paint everything yourselft; in such case why would you need the tree control? Just for item storage?

Hi!
Thanks again!
Yes, all I need is extra indentation for some items.
I tried custom draw, and got the item text to be indented. But the icon is shown at the same place as it was before. And I am not sure how to redraw the icon. This is where I am struck at, right now.
How can I redraw the icon?
Thanks,
NC

The extra indentation is always identical? Or varies between items?

Hi!
It has to be x + the current indentation. So, basically for items with icons, I need to get the current indentation of the item with respect to its parent(which is fine) and add a constant to it and indent by that much. This constant is same for all items.
Thanks,
NC
