Writing WinSNMP Applications with Multiple Threads

The Microsoft WinSNMP implementation ensures that the WinSNMP operations of one process do not modify the WinSNMP settings of another process.

A WinSNMP application with multiple threads must ensure that WinSNMP operations that set application-level parameters are thread-safe. The functions that set application-level parameters are SnmpSetTranslateMode and SnmpSetRetransmitMode. These functions modify settings for the entity and context translation mode and the retransmission mode.
