Could someone remind me what the name of the api is that creates a new
thread?

Hm, "create", and, uh, "thread".

Nah, doesn't ring any bells.

Sorry,

It depends on your environment.

MFC: AfxBeginThread
CRT: _beginthread[ex]
Win32 API: CreateThread

If you use any particular framework, then it may require its own
function to create a new thread.

What environment? Could be CreateThread, CThread::Start, _beginthreadex,
pthread_create, future, or any number of other functions and classes
depending on what libraries you are using.

Using VC++, I had created a win forms project. I wasn't sure what
environment I wanted to use. If I do use the Win32 API CreateThread
function, which is the API that notifies me when the thread is through
executing. I need to stop all execution in the application until that
particular thread is done running a specific procedure.

Daniel:

If you have a winforms project you should be using threading functions from the
.NET library. And you should be asking about them in
microsoft.public.dotnet.languages.vc.

OK you guys, there is no need to be nasty.

CreateThread() is what you're after Daniel.

I found some code that uses CreateThread and marshalls a com object to the
new thread. Can anyone tell me what I need to use to pass a couple of
parameters to the new thread? I believe I need a stream object.
