I'm trying to change my applications priority to something besides the
basic highest, above average, etc. I'm developing for an embedded
processor (Windows CE 4.2), thus I'm using evc++ in conjunction with
vb.net. Now I can make a CeSetThreadPriority call using a C dll (from
the VB app), which does allow me to change the process priority to
something other than the 'supposed' allowed priorities (which are
251-255 for those who are wondering, 251 being the 'highest', and 255
being the 'lowest', and fyi 255 is the lowest priority a thread can
have in an embedded application, period). Now making this C call thru
a dll works (succeeds), however, the priority REALLY doesnt change, i
know this because high-impact C threads running at a priority of 250
(or higher) kill the vb.net application. I'm attributing this to the
fact that any vb.net embedded application is actually running 5 threads
for one application (instead of one as you would assume), and the other
threads priorities probably aren't getting changed when you call
CeSetThreadPriority. So I guess my question is... what are these
background threads? Can you change their priority? I dislike VB for
these types of situations, although its ease of use for graphics is
amazing. Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks.
