What do you want to notify ?

There's many ways of doing this really. If you're running a UI thread (i.e. a thread which is derived from CWinThread) you can create a window in one of the threads and call PostMessage on the HWND from the other one to pass a message.

You can also pass messages by having a synchronised list of messages in one thread, and an event to signal that thread that messages exist.

It really depends on what you want to do.

If u want to notify one thread from another thread e.g like one thread have completed its work and notify other thread after that to execute its task, then u can use waitforsingleobject or waitformultipleobject . Check MSDN for further references.

Another possible solution is messages.
