Newbie to C: Help with Threads 1

[MarionUK]

HI
I need help in implementing some thread code, will CreateMutex() and then WaitForSingleObject be sufficient. Else please give me some suggestions.
Thanks

if you're working only with treads, you should use critical secrions (InitializeCriticalSection ), and use EnterCriticalSection/LeaveCriticalSection

My executable will be called from another program (not mine) a number of times, possibly almost simultaneously and I would like to ensure that all instances of my program are run successfully.
Could you help?
Thanks

If you would like to synchronize processes, you thave taken the correct point with mutexes. So, go ahead, read technical documentation. There is no problems to use them. If you have one, put it right here.

So adding the mutex will ensure that ALL instances of this executable are run and run sequentially?

 

[Cagliostro]

yes
