about end a thread

[wangwangwangwang]

i use a Event and a BOOL value to stop a thread, the thread is create with CreateThread, and a loop in the thread, when i create the thread,
i set the event object to non signal and the bool value to FALSE, when i click another button ,want to stop it, i set the bool value to TRUE to break the loop,then before quit the thread ,i set the Event. code such as below:
Button1Click:
m_bStop = FALSE;
ResetEvent(m_hEvent);
CreateThread(..);
In the Thead:(a loop in it)
{..
while (!m_bStop)
{
..
}
SetEvent(m_hEvent);
return 0;
}

Button2Click:
{
m_bStop = TRUE;
WaitForMultipleObjects(1,&m_hEventStop,TRUE,INFINITE);
..
}
but when i click the button 2, the application will be like deadlock,why?
and how to solve it?

thank you

Use SyncObjects to avoid Dead lock Refer MSDN.

It will help you to come out from DeadLock.
