Re: Terminating User-Interface Thread

Thank you very much for the reply.

When PostQuitMessage(0) is used, the application will exit automatically. I only need something that will stop executing the thread while it is still running without exiting the application..
My project is about searching a string in a list. I used thread so that the user can start and stop searching.

Please help me with this....Thank you very much in advance.


The steps I outlined are for terminating a secondary UI thread from the main thread. If your question is how can the secondary UI thread terminate itself, it should call PostQuitMessage(0). This does not cause the application to exit. If you call it from the secondary thread it causes the secondary thread to exit.
