Re: Threads help

Seems like we've had this discussion in this group before. Have you checked
the archives?

The pattern goes something like this:

-----

// This event will be set when you want the thread to exit.
protected AutoResetEvent thev = new AutoResetEvent( false );

startbutton_click()
{
th = new Thread( new ThreadStart( this.MyThread ) );
th.Start();
}

protected virtual void AcqThread()
{
while (thev.WaitOne(time, false) == false)
{
}

// The event was set. Time to exit the thread...
}

stopbutton_click()
{
thev.Set();

th.Join(waittime);
}
