RE: [Boost-Users] boost::thread and Windows

Steve, You brought up an interesting problem. Here are my thoughts on a possible solution: Rather than calling SetDlgItemText() and immediately starting a WaitForSingleObject(), instead you could create a user-defined message called, say, WM_USER_WAITFORTHREAD. Then, post a WM_USER_WAITFORTHREAD message to your HWND right after the SetDlgItemText(). Since the item-text change message was sent first, it should be executed before the thread-waiting message is processed. If you use MFC, you can either manually add a handler for WM_USER_WAITFORTHREAD into its message-mapping section or just override CWnd::PreTranslateMessage(). I apologize for the off-topic-ness of all this. Sorry :) -Jonathan
