Hi mike ,

Hope the following code snippet will help you .Please do read more abt
CreateThraed API in MSDN where u can get good
samples of thread implementations.

InitialzeThraed() // User Defined Method
{
        DWORD dwThreadID = 0;
        CreateThraed( NULL,0,SocketConnectThread,NULL, 0,&dwThreadID) //

Hi,

I have a situation whereby when I call to the Winsock2's connect()
function, it takes a long time to respond back. This causes my
CPictureEx animated GIF to show hanging on the screen.

I'm thinking of creating a thread for the connect() function call so
that it will not hang my animated GIF.

Can anyone show me how to go about doing that?

TIA.

Rgds,

Mike
