CMsgThread Class
.gif)
This class is a worker thread class that queues requests to the queuing thread for completion asynchronously. To use this class, derive your class from it and override the CMsgThread::ThreadMessageProc member function. The ThreadMessageProc member function carries out each request. Your client functions and the ThreadMessageProc member function must share a common definition of the parameters in the CMsg object.
A negotiated mechanism tells the worker thread to exit. Typically, this will be one value of the CMsg class's uMsg message code.
It is a good idea to send this message from the destructor of your derived class, and call the CMsgThread::WaitForThreadExit member function before completing the destruction of the derived class.
