I writing IE add-on and I’m using ATL for it. I need to create background worker thread so UI thread will be unblocked as soon as possible.
My question is, should I use the lowest possible way of creating thread which is Winapi, CreateThread etc.
Or is there other proffered way of creating worker thread in BHO/ATL/COM projects?
I have to learn this stuff first so I thought I would ask first 😉
There is no need to use low-level APIs unless you need the level of control they offer.
With ATL you already have
CWorkerThread, but you could also use other libraries like Boost.Thread if you prefer.
