CMsgThread Class (Compact 2013)

3/26/2014

CMsgThread Class

This class is a worker thread class that queues requests to the queuing thread for completion asynchronously.

To use this class, derive your class from it and override the CMsgThread::ThreadMessageProc member function.

The ThreadMessageProc member function carries out each request. Your client functions and the ThreadMessageProc member function must share a common definition of the parameters in the CMsg object.

A negotiated mechanism tells the worker thread to exit. Typically, this is one value of the CMsg class's uMsg message code.

It is a good idea to send this message from the destructor of your derived class and call the CMsgThread::WaitForThreadExit member function before completing the destruction of the derived class.
