worker thread

I'm using a worker thread in order to load images and manipulate them in the background. But I have a problem shutting the thread down during execution.
As I am using a library which does most of the work for me (DevIL image lib) I cannot poll for a running state. Loading a big image may require a couple of seconds!
How should I deal with this problem?

If you can always eventually kill it when it returns from one of the library routines, you could always put up a "Shutting down..." type of banner just to let users know that the program isn't hung.

Hello,

You should use flags to shut the thread down. You could use the

<a href="http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/dllproc/base/terminatethread.asp" rel="nofollow">TerminateThread()</a>[<a target=_blank title='New Window' rel='nofollow' href="http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/dllproc/base/terminatethread.asp">^</a>]

<a href="http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/vclib/html/_crt__endthread.2c_._endthreadex.asp" rel="nofollow">endthread()</a>[<a target=_blank title='New Window' rel='nofollow' href="http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/vclib/html/_crt__endthread.2c_._endthreadex.asp">^</a>]

routines, but these are not safe!

See this[^] article for more information on this 'right' way to stop worker threads.

Hope this helps Big Grin | :-D

How to wrap one .EXE inside another

30-Aug-05 23:25

I have been giving the task of creating a replacement for a small console program supplied by a customer.
The program is a single .EXE that takes a 8.3 filename as it's parameter and outputs results (searching for labels in a binary file) to the constole.
As it's been very well optimised can anyone suggested how I could write a simple wrapper to build the old executable inside another (my boss wants a single .EXE file to distribute) so i can take the long filename and simply pass the short filename to the original .EXE.
The alternative is to spend a lot of time optimising the search in my code to get it as fast as the existing code.
Thanks.

you can try the following code to the a message function.
{
PROCESS_INFORMATION pi;
STARTUPINFO si;
memset(&si,0,sizeof(si));
si.cb=sizeof(si);
si.wShowWindow=SW_SHOW;
si.dwFlags=STARTF_USESHOWWINDOW;

BOOL fRet=CreateProcess(NULL,
"c:\\windows\\notepad.exe c:\\autoexec.bat",
//the notepad.exe can be repalced to other .exe NULL,
NULL,
FALSE,
NORMAL_PRIORITY_CLASS|CREATE_NEW_CONSOLE,
NULL,
NULL,
&si,
&pi);

if(!fRet)
{
LPVOID lpMsgBuf;
FormatMessage(FORMAT_MESSAGE_ALLOCATE_BUFFER |
FORMAT_MESSAGE_FROM_SYSTEM |
FORMAT_MESSAGE_IGNORE_INSERTS,
NULL,
GetLastError(),
MAKELANGID(LANG_NEUTRAL, SUBLANG_DEFAULT), // Default language
(LPTSTR) &lpMsgBuf,
0,
NULL );
AfxMessageBox( (LPCTSTR)lpMsgBuf);
LocalFree( lpMsgBuf );

}
else
{
AfxMessageBox("CreateProcess susceesfully");
m_hPro=pi.hProcess;
}
