Re: How to stop a BackgroundWorker thread that calls a C++ dll

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance

Hi

It takes between 0.001 s and more then one hour depending on the
calculation.

But based on Mehdi's feedback I think that I will try to find a way to
update the C++ dll, since in the long run it seems that it
will be a good investment of time.

Thanks
Torben

How long would this calculation last?
Are we talking about minutes, seconds?

Hi

My interface calls a C++ dll that runs a slow calculations.
So I call the dll inside a BackgroundWorker thread, and that all works
fine.

But how can I stop the thread if the user wants to? I can not tell the
dll to stop so CancelAsync() will not work?

I need a way to simply kill the "thread" since nothing in it will be used
if the user wants to cancel

Thanks Torben
