Blocks until the thread exits.
BOOL WaitForThreadExit( LPDWORD lpdwExitCode );
Parameters
- lpdwExitCode
- Exit code returned by the thread.
Return Values
Returns either TRUE or FALSE, the meaning of which is determined by the class supplying the overridden CMsgThread::ThreadMessageProcmember function and the calling member function.
Remarks
Ensure that the worker thread has exited completely before completing the destruction of your derived class; otherwise, the thread might still execute after your dynamic-link library (DLL) has been unloaded from the address space of the process. Even if the only instruction left to exit is a single-return instruction, this would cause an exception. The only reliable way to ensure that the thread has exited is to signal the thread to exit (using a privately negotiated CMsgobject sent to the CMsgThread::PutThreadMsgmember function) and then call this member function. You should do this in the destructor for your derived class.
