Terminating threads

JJ
I need to allow the user to cancel a thread. The examples I've seen seem to
set a 'cancel requested' flag in a while..do loop in the threads code.
However, my threads task is a mainly a single command that collects remote
data - would this approach format work in this case? If not, what approach
should I use?

While Not CancelThread.Wa itOne(0, False) And LoopCount < Loops
' Long data collecting task here.
System.Threadin g.Thread.Sleep( 1000) ' Sleep for one second.
LoopCount += 1
End While

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.

Hello all Within my reports form i have used delegates to allow a crystall reports to generate without holding up the user. The user selects a report from tree view, enters the appropriate data and then hits the "Display" button. At this point the delegate is created and fired via BeginInvoke.

I have a very multi-threaded Windows Forms application. There are many BeginInvoke calls, as well as Thread/ThreadStarts. My issue is that when I quit my application there are often threads hanging around that prevent the process from dying. I've gone through my code line by line looking for orphaned threads, but I'm unable to figure out where they are being created. Is there any way to kill all threads spawned by a process without...

Hi, I'm working on a multi-threaded application. I'm using ThreadPools. One of the requirements of the application is, if certain exception occurs all the counters have to be reset. I have noticed that some threads, even after resetting the counters, have the old values.

I have a C# Windows Service running as the NetworkService account because it needs to access a network share. As part of the service's initialization, I want the service to terminate, if an unrecoverable error occurs. When that case occurs, I create a ServiceController object and call the Stop() method. However - I get an exception thrown saying access denied. If I switch to using the LocalService account it works fine, but I lose...

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...

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. Here is my compilation command: g++-12 -std=c++20 -Wnarrowing bit_field.cpp Here is the code in...

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...

Dear forum friends, With the development of smart home technology, a variety of wireless communication protocols have appeared on the market, such as Zigbee, Z-Wave, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, etc. Each protocol has its own unique characteristics and advantages, but as a user who is planning to build a smart home system, I am a bit confused by the choice of these technologies.

Let's talk about the concept of autonomous AI software engineers and no-code agents. These AIs are designed to manage the entire lifecycle of a software development project—planning, coding, testing, and deployment—without human intervention. Imagine an AI that can take a project description, break it down, write the code, debug it, and then launch it, all on its own.... Now, this would greatly impact the work of software developers. The idea...
