Thread question in Win32

[kabilius]

Hi all,

I am a little confused on how thread works in Win32.
Let's say I have 2 threads - thread A and B

Here is the scenario:
Thread A is the main thread.
Thread B launches when a thread A discovered a MessageBox needs to be displayed.
Then thread B display the MessageBox.

In this scenario, I understand that thread B is stuck until an end user dismiss the MessageBox, but is thread A running freely? or is it stuck as well?

Please advise,
Thank you,
kab

Thread A is still running freely. BUT if you are using windows, MessageBox disables the parent window so it may appear to stop since the Message Queue filters some messages when disabled.

You may want to look into Modeless dialogs.
