I’m having trouble keeping my app responsive to user actions. Therefore, I’d like to split message processing between multiple threads.
Can I simply create several threads, reading from the same message queue in all of them, and letting which ever one is able process each message?
If so, how can this be accomplished?
If not, can you suggest another way of resolving this problem?
You cannot have more than one thread which interacts with the message pump or any UI elements. That way lies madness.
If there are long processing tasks which can be farmed out to worker threads, you can do it that way, but you’ll have to use another thread-safe queue to manage them.
