How does threads work?
- Thread starter 801119
- Start date
Each time you start a program in NT, 9x, etc. you are running another thread. This allows you to run multiple programs at one. You can also start a thread from within a program. One of the best uses of threads is to run a program in the background. For example, you can run a program that uses a thread to periodicaly check for input from a serial port while still allowing the user to type commands in the foreground.
You should look carefully at TThread.
