How to resume thread at the specific time instance?

[qingxing2005]

Dear all,

I met one problem about resuming the thread. The thread function init() should be executed when the thread test_thread() is resumed. However, it is never done by my following snippet of code as follows. I don't know where the problem is. Can you help me a little?

Thanks in advance,

Bests,

L.M

// Include relevant libs.
#include "windows.h"
...

//global vars.
HANDLE Handle_1 = 0;

DWORD WINAPI init()
{
	...
}

void test_thread(void)
{
	DWORD dwThreadId;
	
	Handle_1 = CreateThread( NULL, 0, init, NULL, CREATE_SUSPENDED, &dwThreadId );
												
}

int main() 
{
     ...
     test_thread();
     ResumeThread( Handle_1 );
     ...
}

Your code looks roughly correct, although there are a couple of issues that may or may not be present in your actual code.
1. The required signature for a thread function is: DWORD WINAPI ThreadProc(LPVOID lpParameter);
2. If there is nothing stopping it, the main function may finish and exit the process before the second thread gets a chance to run. You could stop this by waiting until the second thread has finished before exiting main. You can do this using WaitForSingleObject(Handle_1).

If neither of these solves the problem, maybe you could post a minimal compilable example that demonstrates the problem.
