Re: MFC DLL - ExitInstance hang on WaitForSingleObject

Hi,

First of all I want to thank you for your helpfull advise :)

However I have some question that I did not found the answer during
week-end.

Suppose I'm using the m_bAutoDelete as you propose and I still need to
wait
for thread to be started ; ** Take a look at the WAIT_TIMEOUT condition **

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
// Create startup event
m_hStartupEvent = CreateEvent(NULL, TRUE, FALSE, NULL);

// Create main thread
m_PoolerThread = AfxBeginThread( PoolerThreadProc, static_cast<LPVOID>(
this
), THREAD_PRIORITY_NORMAL, 0, CREATE_SUSPENDED );
m_PoolerThread.m_bAutoDelete = FALSE;

// Resume thread
m_PoolerThread.ResumeThread();

// Check for startup event
switch( WaitForSingleObject( m_hStartupEvent, 1000) )
{
  case WAIT_TIMEOUT :
       bRet = FALSE; // Thread time-out
       // If I well understood the thread could be still be running here ?
       // So what should I do ? I think I'd should stop it ? But how to
stop it correctly ?
       // Simply called "delete m_PoolerThread" ?
  break;
