I need to use thread to press more than one key at same time (inner loop) and after one second press repeat this task.

I use this code but I found some problem if I use join the first thread not press at same time but if not use press at same time but all thread start.

C#

private void play()
        {
            
            for (int i = 0; i < 2; i++)
            {
                Thread th=null;
                for (int j = 0; j < 2;j++ )
                {
                    
                   SubNote sub= ArrayPlayNote[i].NotesSameTime[j];
             
                   ThreadStart starter = delegate { MessageSub(sub); };
                  th = new Thread(starter);
                
                   th.Start();
                    
                }
                th.Join();
             
            }

        }

I didn't understand what you are really asking.
But you are starting two threads and you are only joining to the last one. And why use a thread to join it? Call the method directly... I really can't help because I can't understand what you are really trying to do.

i use join to prevent start next threads (outer loop) before previous threads finish

Solution 1

This is because the general idea is such a big misuse of threads. Everything looks wrong and beyond repair. Maybe if you explain the requirement, someone or myself would advise you a simple solution. The problem does not look very difficult.

[EDIT]
About passing parameters through thread: see my solutions:
How to pass ref parameter to the thread[^],
change paramters of thread (producer) after it started[^].

In 2D array i need to start thread for all element first row in same time after (1 second) start thread for all element in second row

Does this thread something return? There are 4 ways to use threads. Give more info about your issue.

shadiabusamra 25-Nov-11 6:24am

no return in thread but pass parameter through thread

You see, you say "I want to do this and that with threads". This is not your ultimate goal. Start with explaining what your application should do. Wait a minite...

this is the basic

C#

static void Main(string[] args)
       {
           for (int i = 0; i < 100; i++)
           {
               Thread t = new Thread(new ParameterizedThreadStart(MyMethod));
               t.Start(i); //pass in object
           }
           Console.ReadLine();
       }

       public static void MyMethod(object input)
       {
           //Cast object
           Console.WriteLine("Hello from MyMethod " + input.ToString());
       }

So you can pass in an object to thread. if you need to print in console from 1 to 99, not like now, you need to use ReaderWriterLock.
Ok.
If I am wrong tell me please someone because i am learning .NET.
