multithreading locks my form

[rantech]

i have a multithreaded app(dialog based) . when the threads are running the main form isn't responding .
i tried with DoEvents() to dispatch the messages but i don't really like the results . so i understand that the solution would be a gui thread ? or what ?
there's anybody here that could tell me exactly how to do it ? (on the dialog class generated by mfc )

What thread is the main form running in? I usually leave all my GUI elements in the main application thread, and kick off worker threads to do the work. That way I don't need to be concerned with creating GUI type threads...

this would be the same for me. the main app gui..i'll have the UI elements...and some threads that are downloading some files from the internet . but when i start this threads.. i can't interact with the interface(although i see it). So, do i create another thread for the main app ?

Your main app is already running in the process' main thread.

Please post the code of how you create those worker threads.

[problem solved] the threads were going out of scope and close themselves !
