Re: Restarting a CWinThread when it is running halfway.

Tech Tip: Click here to run a free scan for Windows Errors and optimize PC performance

I gave you my suggestions. You could be more-aggressive about killing the
thread, then restarting it on resume, or less-aggressive and doing something
like what I described (suspend the thread, then set the
start-at-the-beginning event/variable, then suspend the device; on restart,
resume the thread and it should, shortly, check the event/variable and start
over). You should know that nothing *every* happens instantaneously....

Hi Paul,

the triggers comes from an interrupt. When this interrupt occurs, i need
to suspend immediately. Before it goes to suspend mode i will suspend my
thread first, Thread A.

After my target has wake up from suspend mode, my monitoring thread will
need to restart Thread A because the operation it is doing half way will
be
invalid.

Do you have any good suggestion?

No built-in way. I suppose that you could check the value of a global
variable (restartNow), and do something, use an event to trigger this
behavior, etc. You haven't told us *who* is supposed to be triggering
this
restart, so it's a little hard to suggest a very specific approach.

DWORD threadproc( LPVOID param )
{
while ( 1 )
{
WaitForSingleObject( event, INFINITE );
if ( restartNow )
continue;
<do whatever>
}
}

Hi All,

I'm currently using WINCE 5.0 for my target device.

In my current application design i have a CWinThread running.

I have a trigger event via interrupt. When the event is trigger, I
need
the CWinThread to stop runnning, initialised and re-start. But i do not
wish
to kill the thread and restart it. Is there anyway to stop the thread
from
running and restart again?
