Threads are not auto-terminated when the main form closes (not that
they should be). What's the best way to terminate them when the
program exits? Catch the on close message of the form, and give a
signal to the threads that they must shut down? Seems I need a
destructor for that. Forms don't have an overridable Dispose method.
So, how can I react when the form closes?
Note my example thread just (abnormally) runs forever until it is told
to shut down via boolean data member. So, the form's close method
could just set this. (I know there's the Abort() method, but that
seems ugly, especially since it's not guaranteed to work.)

The .NET forms do have overridable Dispose methods. The reason you
can't override them is because they are already overridden. The
override is in the <Form>.Designer .cs It's safe to modify this method,
the designer won't touch it.
Right, thanks!
If you use .NET2, the preferable way to create a background worker is
the component BackgroundWorke r. It provides you the functionality of
the abovementioned class, however, it is `official'. Also, the
component uses events to communicate with the form, so for example
when you report progress, you don't have to use any Invoke()-s,
because the worker.Progress Changed event runs in the form's thread.
Seehttp://msdn2.microsoft .com/en-us/library/system.componen tmodel.backgr.. .
for details.
(Sry, I don't know anything about .NET1)
Right again! I've used this in VB, actually, and it is a very cool
way to handle worker threads. Good job, .NET. And thanks for
reminding me.
BTW: the FormClosed is your way :)
Yup, thanks, Adam! :)

Hello,
I have an app with embedded Python. Python scripts create their own
threads and I need to terminate these threads at the point where the
user wants to leave the application. I use threading.Thread as base
classes.
I have tried to use call the join method of the python thread objects
from C++. But although the call succeeds, the threads don't exit.

Right now I'm using exit(0) to terminate my program. My
program is a console .exe application. After the "exit(0)" line of
code is encountered, the console application waits for an enter press,
before terminating. I want it to terminate completely without having
to press enter manually. Anybody know what I might be missing here ?

I have a python-2.5 program running under linux in which I spawn a
number of threads. The main thread does nothing while these subsidiary
threads are running, and after they all complete, the main thread will
then exit.
I know that I can manage this through the use of Thread.join(), but
when I do it as follows, the main thread doesn't respond to signals:

I have been struggling with the following problem:
In my console application I have function1 calling function2 which in
turn uses threads to do computationally intensive tasks. Some of the
threads generate exceptions which cause the whole application to
abort. How can I avoid termination and make function1 call function2
again in case of exceptions.
Any ideas would be highly appreciated.

All,
I'd appreciate any help. I've got a list of files in a directory, and
I'd like to iterate through that list and process each one. Rather
than do that serially, I was thinking I should start five threads and
process five files at a time.
Is this a good idea? I picked the number five at random... I was
thinking that I might check the number of processors and start a
multiple of that, but then I remembered KISS and it seemed that...

Hello folks,
I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
This is as boiled down as I can make it.
