main thread

Hi.
This might be answered before, but I couldn't find it.
How can you make the main thread to wait()
This does NOT work : Thread.currentT hread().wait();

Regards,

Define "work". "Thread.current Thread().wait() " is nonsensical, as wait() is
a static method and always applies to the current thread. You may want to
read about the wait method here:
http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.2/docs/...ng/Object.html

In the future, please post to comp.lang.java. help for beginner issues or
comp.lang.java. programmer for advanced issues.

wait() is not static, but it's method of Object not Thread.

Hi,

In simple Thread.wait(); should work,

Thread.currentT hread.wait(); gets a refrence to the current running
thread, and probablaly that is the reason it doesnot work. Many Times
Thread Refrences dont work and it will good if some one can explain
that why?

But in that Thread, if you say Thread.wait(), it will make the thread
to wait.

All the best.

The/a tricky part is that in order to invoke the wait() method of any given
object, you must own that object's monitor. That is, you must be inside a
synchronized block (or method) that is associated with the object that is
being invoked.

Hi,

In simple Thread.wait(); should work,
Thread.wait() doesn't work, since wait() is non-static method,
Thread.class.wa it() works if current thread owns monitor of Thread
class.

More about thread synchronization and wait() and notify() (Java
Tutorial):
http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutor...ithreaded.html

Many Times Thread Refrences dont work
and it will good if some one can explain
that why?

Can you post an example of this problem?

Hi guys. I have two threads: a main thread and a background thread. Lots of stuff happens in the background thread that means I have to update several (lots) of controls on a form.

The are 2 threads - main thread and worker thread. The main thread creates the worker thread and then the worker thread runs in an infinite while loop till it is asked to exit by setting an event. The worker thread instantiates an object and calls methods of that object. If some method call fails, the main thread needs to be notified about the failure. What mechanisms exist for notifying the main thread about the worker thread's status -...

Dear All, Here is a problem I am facing (it might be too simple, but then I admit I am not a Guru:-) I have a main thread, in managed C++, that deals with displaying a form and some controls. I invoke another thread for some processing from this thread, so basically the main thread is waiting on the sub thread.
