CWinThread::CreateThread

BOOL CreateThread( DWORD dwCreateFlags = 0, UINT nStackSize = 0, LPSECURITY_ATTRIBUTES lpSecurityAttrs = NULL );

Return Value

Nonzero if the thread is created successfully; otherwise 0.

Parameters

dwCreateFlags

Specifies an additional flag that controls the creation of the thread. This flag can contain one of two values:

• CREATE_SUSPENDED   Start the thread with a suspend count of one. The thread will not execute until ResumeThread is called.
  
  
• 0   Start the thread immediately after creation.

nStackSize

Specifies the size in bytes of the stack for the new thread. If 0, the stack size defaults to the same size as that of the process’s primary thread.

lpSecurityAttrs

Points to a SECURITY_ATTRIBUTES structure that specifies the security attributes for the thread.

Remarks

Creates a thread to execute within the address space of the calling process. Use AfxBeginThread to create a thread object and execute it in one step. Use CreateThread if you want to reuse the thread object between successive creation and termination of thread executions.
