1、创建和终止线程
在MFC程序中创建一个线程,宜调用AfxBeginThread函数。该函数因参数不同而具有两种重载版本,分别对应工作者线程和用户接口(UI)线程。
工作者线程
CWinThread *AfxBeginThread( AFX_THREADPROC pfnThreadProc, //控制函数 LPVOID pParam, //传递给控制函数的参数 int nPriority = THREAD_PRIORITY_NORMAL, //线程的优先级 UINT nStackSize = 0, //线程的堆栈大小 DWORD dwCreateFlags = 0, //线程的创建标志 LPSECURITY_ATTRIBUTES lpSecurityAttrs = NULL //线程的安全属性 ); |
工作者线程编程较为简单,只需编写线程控制函数和启动线程即可。下面的代码给出了定义一个控制函数和启动它的过程:
//线程控制函数 UINT MfcThreadProc(LPVOID lpParam) { CExampleClass *lpObject = (CExampleClass*)lpParam; if (lpObject == NULL || !lpObject->IsKindof(RUNTIME_CLASS(CExampleClass))) return - 1; //输入参数非法 //线程成功启动 while (1) { ...// } return 0; }
//在MFC程序中启动线程 AfxBeginThread(MfcThreadProc, lpObject); |
UI线程
创建用户界面线程时,必须首先从CWinThread 派生类,并使用 DECLARE_DYNCREATE 和 IMPLEMENT_DYNCREATE 宏声明此类。
下面给出了CWinThread类的原型(添加了关于其重要函数功能和是否需要被继承类重载的注释):
class CWinThread : public CCmdTarget { DECLARE_DYNAMIC(CWinThread)
public: // Constructors CWinThread(); BOOL CreateThread(DWORD dwCreateFlags = 0, UINT nStackSize = 0, LPSECURITY_ATTRIBUTES lpSecurityAttrs = NULL);
// Attributes CWnd* m_pMainWnd; // main window (usually same AfxGetApp()->m_pMainWnd) CWnd* m_pActiveWnd; // active main window (may not be m_pMainWnd) BOOL m_bAutoDelete; // enables 'delete this' after thread termination
// only valid while running HANDLE m_hThread; // this thread's HANDLE operator HANDLE() const; DWORD m_nThreadID; // this thread's ID
int GetThreadPriority(); BOOL SetThreadPriority(int nPriority);
// Operations DWORD SuspendThread(); DWORD ResumeThread(); BOOL PostThreadMessage(UINT message, WPARAM wParam, LPARAM lParam);
// Overridables //执行线程实例初始化,必须重写 virtual BOOL InitInstance();
// running and idle processing //控制线程的函数,包含消息泵,一般不重写 virtual int Run();
//消息调度到TranslateMessage和DispatchMessage之前对其进行筛选, //通常不重写 virtual BOOL PreTranslateMessage(MSG* pMsg);
virtual BOOL PumpMessage(); // low level message pump
//执行线程特定的闲置时间处理,通常不重写 virtual BOOL OnIdle(LONG lCount); // return TRUE if more idle processing virtual BOOL IsIdleMessage(MSG* pMsg); // checks for special messages
//线程终止时执行清除,通常需要重写 virtual int ExitInstance(); // default will 'delete this'
//截获由线程的消息和命令处理程序引发的未处理异常,通常不重写 virtual LRESULT ProcessWndProcException(CException* e, const MSG* pMsg);
// Advanced: handling messages sent to message filter hook virtual BOOL ProcessMessageFilter(int code, LPMSG lpMsg);
// Advanced: virtual access to m_pMainWnd virtual CWnd* GetMainWnd();
// Implementation public: virtual ~CWinThread(); #ifdef _DEBUG virtual void AssertValid() const; virtual void Dump(CDumpContext& dc) const; int m_nDisablePumpCount; // Diagnostic trap to detect illegal re-entrancy #endif void CommonConstruct(); virtual void Delete(); // 'delete this' only if m_bAutoDelete == TRUE
// message pump for Run MSG m_msgCur; // current message
public: // constructor used by implementation of AfxBeginThread CWinThread(AFX_THREADPROC pfnThreadProc, LPVOID pParam);
// valid after construction LPVOID m_pThreadParams; // generic parameters passed to starting function AFX_THREADPROC m_pfnThreadProc;
// set after OLE is initialized void (AFXAPI* m_lpfnOleTermOrFreeLib)(BOOL, BOOL); COleMessageFilter* m_pMessageFilter;
protected: CPoint m_ptCursorLast; // last mouse position UINT m_nMsgLast; // last mouse message BOOL DispatchThreadMessageEx(MSG* msg); // helper void DispatchThreadMessage(MSG* msg); // obsolete };
|
启动UI线程的AfxBeginThread函数的原型为:
CWinThread *AfxBeginThread( //从CWinThread派生的类的 RUNTIME_CLASS CRuntimeClass *pThreadClass, int nPriority = THREAD_PRIORITY_NORMAL, UINT nStackSize = 0, DWORD dwCreateFlags = 0, LPSECURITY_ATTRIBUTES lpSecurityAttrs = NULL ); |
我们可以方便地使用VC++ 6.0类向导定义一个继承自CWinThread的用户线程类。下面给出产生我们自定义的CWinThread子类CMyUIThread的方法。
打开VC++ 6.0类向导,在如下窗口中选择Base Class类为CWinThread,输入子类名为CMyUIThread,点击"OK"按钮后就产生了类CMyUIThread。
其源代码框架为:
/ // CMyUIThread thread
class CMyUIThread : public CWinThread { DECLARE_DYNCREATE(CMyUIThread) protected: CMyUIThread(); // protected constructor used by dynamic creation
// Attributes public:
// Operations public:
// Overrides // ClassWizard generated virtual function overrides //{{AFX_VIRTUAL(CMyUIThread) public: virtual BOOL InitInstance(); virtual int ExitInstance(); //}}AFX_VIRTUAL
// Implementation protected: virtual ~CMyUIThread();
// Generated message map functions //{{AFX_MSG(CMyUIThread) // NOTE - the ClassWizard will add and remove member functions here. //}}AFX_MSG
DECLARE_MESSAGE_MAP() };
/ // CMyUIThread
IMPLEMENT_DYNCREATE(CMyUIThread, CWinThread)
CMyUIThread::CMyUIThread() {}
CMyUIThread::~CMyUIThread() {}
BOOL CMyUIThread::InitInstance() { // TODO: perform and per-thread initialization here return TRUE; }
int CMyUIThread::ExitInstance() { // TODO: perform any per-thread cleanup here return CWinThread::ExitInstance(); }
BEGIN_MESSAGE_MAP(CMyUIThread, CWinThread) //{{AFX_MSG_MAP(CMyUIThread) // NOTE - the ClassWizard will add and remove mapping macros here. //}}AFX_MSG_MAP END_MESSAGE_MAP() |
使用下列代码就可以启动这个UI线程:
CMyUIThread *pThread; pThread = (CMyUIThread*) AfxBeginThread( RUNTIME_CLASS(CMyUIThread) ); |
另外,我们也可以不用AfxBeginThread 创建线程,而是分如下两步完成:
(1)调用线程类的构造函数创建一个线程对象;
(2)调用CWinThread::CreateThread函数来启动该线程。
在线程自身内调用AfxEndThread函数可以终止该线程:
void AfxEndThread( UINT nExitCode //the exit code of the thread ); |
对于UI线程而言,如果消息队列中放入了WM_QUIT消息,将结束线程。
关于UI线程和工作者线程的分配,最好的做法是:将所有与UI相关的操作放入主线程,其它的纯粹的运算工作交给独立的数个工作者线程。
候捷先生早些时间喜欢为MDI程序的每个窗口创建一个线程,他后来澄清了这个错误。因为如果为MDI程序的每个窗口都单独创建一个线程,在窗口进行切换的时候,将进行线程的上下文切换!
