Hi
I am trying to do threading in my c++/CLI project.
I don't have a lot of experience in it :(

I have the command:

C++

SnifThread = gcnew Thread(gcnew ThreadStart(this,&test4::Form1::snif_data));

and then

C++

SnifThread -> Start();

The thread runs once and after it finished it stops going.

Why is that happening?
How can I keep my thread going?

Thanks

Put a while(running) loop in your Form1::snif_data and it will continue.

You can kill the thread by setting running to false.

Effectively if yoy function must be executed multiple times, add a loop and an exit condition is the way to go.

Without details on your snif_data function, we cannot help you more than that.
