RE: Thread problem

Hello,

I'm trying to write a MFC-Dialog of a Dpws-Server-Client sample.

So I have the existing C sample-code, which starts a thread, but I am
not able to transform it to C++.

This is the existing c-code:

// =====================================
#include <windows.h>
#include <stdio.h>

#include "dpws.h"

/*
  * IMPORTANT NOTE: This multi-thread server is supplied as an example
for studying purpose
  * and does not meet the usual standards of industrial software. For
instance, threads
  * should not create threads or allocate a runtime structure for every
service but implement
  * pools instead.
  */
HANDLE bootThread = NULL;

static DWORD WINAPI runServer(struct dpws *);
static DWORD WINAPI serve(struct dpws *);

int initServer(struct dpws *dpws)
{
    int status = dpws_server_init(dpws, NULL);
    if (status)
        fprintf(stderr, dpws_get_error_msg(dpws));
    return status;
}

int bootServer(struct dpws *dpws)
{
    bootThread = CreateThread(NULL, 0, runServer, dpws, 0, NULL);
    if (bootThread == NULL) {
        fprintf (stderr, "Thread Creation ERROR (%d) - bootServer()\n",
GetLastError());
        return -1;
    }
    return 0;
}

void stopServer()
{
    dpws_stop_server(1000);
    // wait for the master thread to exit
    WaitForSingleObject(bootThread, 2000);
    CloseHandle(bootThread);
}

static DWORD WINAPI runServer(struct dpws * m_dpws)
{
    HANDLE hThread;
    struct dpws * s_dpws;
    int status = DPWS_OK;

     while (TRUE) {
        /* Allocate a DPWS runtime structure for the next serve task */
        s_dpws = HeapAlloc(GetProcessHeap(), 0, sizeof(struct dpws));

        status = dpws_accept_thr(m_dpws, s_dpws);
        if (status) {
            if (status != DPWS_ERR_SERVER_STOPPED)
                fprintf(stderr, dpws_get_error_msg(m_dpws));
            goto exit;
        }

        /* spawn a new thread */ // NOTE: implement a pool instead
        hThread = CreateThread(NULL, 0, serve, s_dpws, 0, NULL);
        if (hThread == NULL) {
            fprintf (stderr, "Thread Creation ERROR (%d) - runServer()\n",
status);
            goto exit;
        }
        else
            CloseHandle(hThread);
    }

exit:
    // dpws_shutdown() is performed by the DLL
    return 0;
}

static DWORD WINAPI serve(struct dpws * dpws)
{
    dpws_serve(dpws);
    dpws_end(dpws);
    HeapFree(GetProcessHeap(), 0, dpws);
    return 0;
}
// =========================================================

Could anyone help me to get a MFC-C++-code that achieves the same?
