WaitForSingleObject() Problem

[lisoft]

I wrote two threads:

// thread_one:
{
//...
hEvent=CreateEvent(NULL,TRUE,FALSE,NULL);
//...
// do sth
// Some times call:
AfxBeginThread(thread_two, this);
//...
//...
// some code must wait if thread_two running
{
WaitForSingleObject(hEvent,INFINIT);
//continue to do sth if thread_two finished
}
}

// thread_two:
{
ResetEvent(hEvent); //to make sure hEvent is nosignaled
// do sth
SetEvent(hEvent);
}


I want the code in thread_one after WaitForSingleObject wait for thread_two finished if it is running.

But the fact is thread_one wait at WaitForSingleObject for ever and thread_two was also suspended when thread_one is waiting.

Need your help
Thanks!

Well....I am not sure whether I completely understood your problem...however, your event should be created outside the thread and passed to both threads...
