Detailed Description

Thread

Description:

This virtual base class can be used to create threads.

Note:

This thread class will not handle windows and so doesn't have a MessageQueue. If you create a window from within such a thread the Process itself will get the window owner. If you want let the thread handle windows then use the WindowThread class.
Optinally you get use an EventThread to wait for events and perform idle work.

Example:

                class MyThread : public Thread
                {
                public:
                        MyThread();
                        int Run() { printf("Hello from thread!\n");
                };

                MyThread::MyThread() : Thread("mythread") {};

                ...
                MyThread *pThread = new MyThread();
                MyThread->Start();
                ...
