BOOL WINAPI PostThreadMessage(_In_ DWORD idThread,_In_ UINT Msg,_In_ WPARAM wParam,_In_ LPARAM lParam);idThread - [in] Type: DWORD The identifier of the thread to which the message is to be posted.Msg - [in] Type: UINT The type of message to be posted.wParam - [in] Type: WPARAM Additional message-specific information.lParam - [in] Type: LPARAM Additional message-specific information.
也就是说为了使用这个API我们只要提供接受线程的线程ID以及相应的参数就行了,如下是代码实现,首先创建worker thread 并且在worker thread中创建消息循环,这样当我们在主线程中PostThreadMessage的时候worker thread就可以对进来的消息进行处理了,我们可以给worker thread发送TALK_MESSAGE,WM_QUIT message, 一旦worker thread收到WM_QUIT message, worker thread将报告给主线程自己要退出了,然后结束自己的生命周期。
DWORD ThreadProc(LPVOID lParam){ MSG msg; while(GetMessage(&msg,0,0,0)) { if(msg.message == TALK_MESSAGE) { MessageBox(NULL,L"Hi",L"Worker Thread",MB_OK); } DispatchMessage(&msg); } MessageBox(NULL,L"Thread will close by pressing OK",L"From Worker Thread",MB_OK); AfxGetApp()->m_pMainWnd->PostMessageW(TALK_MESSAGE+1,0,0); return 0;}void CPostThreadMSGDlg::OnBnClickedOk(){ CreateThread(NULL,0,(LPTHREAD_START_ROUTINE)ThreadProc,0,0,&m_dwThread); ::MessageBox(NULL,L"Worker Thread Created!",L"From main Thread",MB_OK); OnOK();}void CPostThreadMSGDlg::OnBnClickedButtonHi(){ PostThreadMessage(m_dwThread,TALK_MESSAGE,0,0);}void CPostThreadMSGDlg::OnBnClickedButtonCllose(){ PostThreadMessage(m_dwThread,WM_QUIT,0,0);}LONG CPostThreadMSGDlg::OnWorkerThreadQuitFunction(WPARAM wParam, LPARAM lParam){ ::MessageBox(NULL,L"Main thread have known Worker Thread died!",L"From main Thread",MB_OK); return 0;}
