Message box as thread to stop main thread
Hello,
My main thread does some computation indefinetly. To stop the computation, I created a thread that displays a message box, and when pressed, sets a global variable that stops the main program loop. However, my program just hangs when I get the start the thread. The message box does not show up either. Here's the code:
Code:
static bool keep_sending;
static UINT thread_func(LPVOID pParam)
{
AfxMessageBox("Please OK to stop");
keep_sending = false
return 0;
}
void A::func(void)
{
CWinThread *pthread;
keep_sending = false;
if(some_condition)
{
keep_sending = true;
pthread = AfxBeginThread(thread_func, NULL, THREAD_PRIORITY_NORMAL);
}
do
{
// do some stuff
}while(keep_sending);
}
Thanks.
