Because you are going to be doing complex things, you should consider using a user-interface thread. Just using a single thread function (threadFunc as you described) is considered a worker thread. I have recent experience with them, and here's what you need.
1. Derive a class from CWinThread that will be used
2. Add any pointer or whatever you want to the class definition
3. Override the OnIdle function (may be automatically overridden)
a. put all functionality in there
b. return a nonzero value if you need more CPU time, return 0 if the thread is finished
4. In your main function where the thread will start, the thread will be started like this:
CMyThread * thread = (CMyThread *) AfxBeginThread (RUNTIME_CLASS(CMyThread), THREAD_PRIORITY_IDLE, 0, CREATE_SUSPENDED, NULL);<br />
<transfer data to the thread to be used by the thread here><br />
thread->ResumeThread();
At this point, the thread will be running.
Note: you will not create your own instance of the thread, the AfxBeginThread does all the creation of the data you need. Also, put whatever data that you would normally put in the constructor and destructor, put them in InitInstance and ExitInstance respectively. The threads constructor and destructor
Note: the thread written above will be created but will not be started automatically, hence the CREATE_SUSPENDED option. This gives you a time to pass as much data to the thread as you need. Run ResumeThread() to start the thread. At this point, the InitInstance member function will be run and can do the work of the constructor. Then the OnIdle member function will continually be called repeatedly until there is either a message to handle, or you return 0 and tell the thread no more work is needed. Message passing is considered a vital but relatively uncommon task so it's given a high priority. Since message passing is uncommon, the thread will consume practically it's entire time doing your work but it still needs to occaisionally checked and dispatched messages if needed.
You can use AfxEndThread() to stop the thread inside the threads' functions, and ExitInstance will be run to do the work of the destructor.
I've used worker threads and unless you need pure work done and aren't concerned with any message passing or anything else besides pure work, then UI threads provide many benefits.

I am using some object refrence and boolean variables, these are declared golbally. I know this isn't a good practice but, it is required.
I want to know Can i use nampespace to store these globals and is it of any importance.
Also I don't know how to create and use namespace.
Can you help me plz.

yes, you can put them in a namespace, and it's good style to do so.
to declare:
namespace myNameSpace
{
bool globalBool;
CMyObject globalObject;
...
};
...
to use:
myNameSpace::globalBool = false;

Just a little addition to previous replies , if you don't want to write
myNameSpace::SomeFunction() every time you call it, then you can add following line to your main() function :
using namespace myNameSpace;
And then you will be able to directly call SomeFunction() in main();

Hi,
Yes you can locate global variables in namespaces.
The importance of doing so depends on the specific case.
For example, if you are afraid your var's name could
conflict with another var's name, put yours in a namespace.
Another example, if you have many global variables (hope
you don't) you'd rather put them in a namespace in terms of
'well organization'.
Code:
namespace Globals
{
bool bVar1;
bool bVar2;
// any others...
} // namespace Globals
Now let's use it:
// method 1. (not preferred)
using namespace Globals;
void f()
{
bVar1 = false;
}
// method 2. (less preferred)
using Global::bVar1
void f()
{
bVar1 = false;
}
// method 3. (ok)
void f()
{
Globals::bVar1 = false;
}

I couldnt exactly get your problem. Maybe you should call UpdateData(FALSE) before using the associated variable.

Just a little Correction.. there is no need of use UpdateData(FALSE) on CDateTimeCtrl

in the MSDN samples just search for floder named "cmnctrl1"
open the project and in the file "datetime.cpp" replace the function as below
<br />
<br />
<br />
void CDateTimePage::OnDTNotify(NMHDR *pHdr, LRESULT * pRes)<br />
{<br />
CTime ct;<br />
CString st;<br />
<br />
switch( pHdr->code)<br />
{<br />
<br />
case DTN_CLOSEUP:<br />
m_lbNotifyList.AddString(_T("DTN_CLOSEUP"));<br />
<br />
break;<br />
case DTN_DATETIMECHANGE:<br />
<br />
m_lbNotifyList.AddString(_T("DTN_DATETIMECHANGE"));<br />
(m_DateTime.GetMonthCalCtrl())->GetCurSel(ct);<br />
ct.GetMonth ();<br />
m_DateTime.UpdateData (TRUE);<br />
st.Format(_T(" --- %02d/%02d/%2d ---%2d"),ct.GetMonth(),ct.GetDay(),ct.GetYear(),((ct.GetDay())-12 ));<br />
m_lbNotifyList.AddString(st);<br />
break;<br />
<br />
case MCN_SELECT:<br />
m_lbNotifyList.AddString(_T("asdf"));<br />
break;<br />
<br />
case DTN_DROPDOWN:<br />
m_lbNotifyList.AddString(_T("DTN_DROPDOWN")); <br />
break;<br />
case DTN_FORMAT:<br />
m_lbNotifyList.AddString(_T("DTN_FORMAT"));<br />
break;<br />
case DTN_FORMATQUERY:<br />
m_lbNotifyList.AddString(_T("DTN_FORMATQUERY"));<br />
break;<br />
case DTN_USERSTRING:<br />
m_lbNotifyList.AddString(_T("DTN_USERSTRING"));<br />
break;<br />
case DTN_WMKEYDOWN:<br />
m_lbNotifyList.AddString(_T("DTN_WMKEYDOWN"));<br />
break;<br />
}<br />
<br />
}<br />
The code in between the //->---- ... ... . //->-----
is added by me actully according to the theory it should display
the data in the datetime control but it displays a wrong date that
is 12 days before .
I found a solution to directly get the text from the date time control
with GetWindowText ();
but i have to parse it by my self & cannot use the direct function like GetMonth(),GetDay(),GetYear(),etc.

What about calling
DWORD CDateTimeCtrl::GetTime(
CTime& timeDest
) const;

actually alok
I have used DateTime control as an acitveX in my MFC project.
the control is placed on on DialonBar
I got the handle to the control by using this code
CWnd* pCtrl1 = m_dlgbar.GetDlgItem(IDC_DTPICKER1);
ASSERT(pCtrl1 != NULL);
Then i tried to get the text from the Datetime control by using the
code
pCtrl1->GetWindowText (st);
but it retives not data .Do u hav any idea why
i tested this code on a Dlgbase project
