Yes, but he called CloseHandle right after creating the thread

It doesn't stop the thread. I found much evidence on groups.google.com that if you don't care about syncing on the handle, then closing it right after creation is very common.

I know what you're thinking punk, you're thinking did he spell check this document? Well, to tell you the truth I kinda forgot myself in all this excitement. But being this here's CodeProject, the most powerful forums in the world and would blow your head clean off, you've got to ask yourself one question, Do I feel lucky? Well do ya punk?

I do end the program after I create the thread what do I do to give it time to execute? No one mentioned this when I was reading up on threads...
What should I do put a sleep in?

Did that work for you? I received some kind of memory leak... Does this sound familiar?

cout, printf, same sh*t. As a matter of fact, cout uses printf to perform its job (or at least fome function from stdio.h.

Just forget CreateThread, and use _beginthreadex instead.

Are you *really* going to draw tree control yourself? The lines, +/- buttons, icons, text?
If not, you may consider custom-draw, which allows you to draw only selected parts.

Hi!
Thanks for writing back.
This is what I want to do. I am not sure what to use - custom draw or owner draw. Maybe you can tell me what is best.
I don't have the +/- signs in my tree. I have an image list associated with the tree. Some items have icons and some don't. For those items with icons, I want to display the icon and the text a few pixels right to where the tree ctrl draws it, basically indent further.
Any ideas on how to do this?

So all you need is extra indentation for tree items? Or you just want to display something in this extra space?
Anyway, go with custom-draw. There's no owner-draw for tree controls; you'd have to paint everything yourselft; in such case why would you need the tree control? Just for item storage?

Hi!
Thanks again!
Yes, all I need is extra indentation for some items.
I tried custom draw, and got the item text to be indented. But the icon is shown at the same place as it was before. And I am not sure how to redraw the icon. This is where I am struck at, right now.
How can I redraw the icon?
Thanks,
NC

The extra indentation is always identical? Or varies between items?

Hi!
It has to be x + the current indentation. So, basically for items with icons, I need to get the current indentation of the item with respect to its parent(which is fine) and add a constant to it and indent by that much. This constant is same for all items.
Thanks,
NC

Before continuing with custom-draw (CTreeCtrl::GetImageList and CImageList::Draw will greatly help there) consider using item state images. Each item can have two icons; if you'll have empty state icon you can use it as simulated indent.

Hi!
Is it possible to have more than 2 icons? I have a state image as well.
Thanks,
NC

No, AFAIK only two.
Indent must be on the left side of icons, right? You can't simply add extra spaces into item text. In such case you'll have to custom-draw.

Hi!
So, I guess it is Custom draw for me then! Do you know of any sites which show how do this? I looked on this forum and couldn't find any. I have never done this, so I don't even know how to start to draw the icon.
Thanks for all your help,
NC

As a starting point, you can check the demo application of the CButtonST class. One of its pages has a bitmapped background.

This is a problem I've had before, but I just can't seem to figure it
out:
I have a dialog (CDlgIEAddText) that modifys properties of a class
(CIELayerText), and I have created a member variable in (CIELayerText)
of type (CDlgIEAddText*) .
I have included the DlgIEAddText.h header file, but the compiler keeps
saying "ielayertext.h(26) : error C2501: 'CDlgIEAddText' : missing
storage-class or type specifiers"
Does anyone know why I can't declare this pointer even though I have
included the header file??
Thanks!
Here's the CIELayerText.h file and error the compiler generates:
*** HEADER FILE ***
// IELayerText.h: interface for the CIELayerText class.
