// The CThread class simplifies the use of threads with Win32++.
// To use threads in your Win32++ application, inherit a class from
// CThread, and override InitInstance. When your class is instanciated,
// a new thread is started, and the InitInstance function is called to
// run in the new thread.

// If your thread is used to run one or more windows, InitInstance should 
// return TRUE, causing the MessageLoop function to be called. If your
// thread doesn't require a MessageLoop, it should return FALSE. Threads
// which don't run a message loop as sometimes referred to as "worker" threads.

// Note: It is your job to end the thread before CThread ends!
//       To end a thread with a message loop, use PostQuitMessage on the thread.
//       To end a thread without a message loop, set an event, and end the thread 
//       when the event is received.

// Hint: It is never a good idea to use things like TerminateThread or ExitThread to 
//       end your thread. These represent poor programming techniques, and are likely 
//       to leak memory and resources.

// More Hints for thread programming:
// 1) Avoid using SendMessage between threads, as this will cause one thread to wait for
//    the other to respond. Use PostMessage between threads to avoid this problem.
// 2) Access to variables and resources shared between threads need to be made thread safe.
//    Having one thread modify a resouce or variable while another thread is accessing it is
//    a recipe for disaster.
// 3) Thread Local Storage (TLS) can be used to replace global variables to make them thread
//    safe. With TLS, each thread gets its own copy of the variable.
// 4) Critical Sections can be used to make shared resources thread safe.
// 5) Window messages (including user defined messages) can be posted between GUI threads to
//    communicate information between them.
// 6) Events (created by CreateEvent) can be used to comunicate information between threads 
//    (both GUI and worker threads).
// 7) Avoid using sleep to synchronise threads. Generally speaking, the various wait 
//    functions (e.g. WaitForSingleObject) will be better for this.

// About Threads:
// Each program that executes has a "process" allocated to it. A process has one or more
// threads. Threads run independantly of each other. It is the job of the operating system
// to manage the running of the threads, and do the task switching between threads as required.
// Systems with multiple CPUs will be able to run as many threads simultaneously as there are
// CPUs. 

// Threads behave like a program within a program. When the main thread starts, the application 
// runs the WinMain function and ends when WinMain ends. When another thread starts, it too
// will run the function provided to it, and end when that function ends.
