how to create and update window in child thread using vc++
I just coded a child thread to create and update window but I am facing some problem. My window closes automatically after that thread execution is completed (naturally). But I don't want to close it so I tried putting a while loop in thread and in that loop I am calling InvalidateRect()
function so that it can update window. Now window is not closing automatically but i can't move it or interact with it and cursor also showing some busy icon(means completely not responding). How I can solve that problem. below is code:
calling this from main()
bool CameraApp::OnInit()
{
hThread = (HANDLE)_beginthreadex( NULL, 0, &CameraFrame::StartCameraPreview,
NULL, 0, &threadID );
WaitForSingleObject( hThread, INFINITE );
CloseHandle( hThread );
return TRUE;
}
Thread function block
unsigned __stdcall CameraFrame::StartCameraPreview( void* pArgs )
{
cFrame.ShowCameraWindow();

while(1)
{
cFrame.StartCapture();
InvalidateRect(hwnd, NULL, false);
Sleep(5000);
}
_endthreadex( 0 );
return 0;
}
i can't use main()
function to create window. So, i have to use thread and update that window with periodic image taken from web-camera.
Instead of your infinite loop you need to create message pump in secondary thread that processes windows messages.
unsigned __stdcall CameraFrame::StartCameraPreview( void* pArgs )
{
cFrame.ShowCameraWindow();
MSG msg;
while (GetMessage(&msg, NULL, 0, 0))
{
TranslateMessage(&msg);
DispatchMessage(&msg);
}
_endthreadex( 0 );
return 0;
}
