Assertion on killing thread

[discoking]

I have a UI thread derived from CWinThread. I allocate the memory, call CreateThread() and it runs fine. I call AfxEndThread() to finish using an event and the thread closes down. The problem is that when it comes to the lines

if(m_bAutoDelete)
delete this;

it crashes on me. Ok so I override Delete() to stop it automatically deleting the memory (I know you can stop it auto deleting other ways) and make sure the memory is freed in the same thread that created it. I'm not sure if this is relevant? Still crashes.

No good, it's driving me mad.

Anyone know?

Are you using instances of CWinThread or pointers ot it? John Fill

Here's basically what the code does.

class cMyThreadublic CWinThread
{
private:
HANDLE mhExitEvent;

public:
cMyThread(void);
BOOL OnIdle(LONG);
}

cMyThread::cMyThread(void)
{
mhExitEvent=CreateEvent(NULL,TRUE,FALSE,NULL);
}

BOOL OnIdle(LONG)
{
CWinThread::OnIdle();

if(WaitForSingleObject(mhExitEvent,0)==WAIT_TIMEOUT)
{
//Processing.
}
else
AfxEndThread(0);
}

main()
{
pThread=new cMyThread;
assert(pThread);

pThread->CreateThread();

//Do Processing.

//Finished so exit thread.
SetEvent(pThread->getExitEvent());

//Cleanup.
}

It initialises fine and runs (I know I've missed bits out) but what about the memory assertion?

Any ideas?
