Declare Sub ThreadWait ( ByVal id As Any Ptr )

ThreadWait( id )

id

ThreadWait waits for a thread created by ThreadCreate or Threadcall to finish execution, and then releases the resources associated with the thread handle. ThreadWait does not return until the thread designated by id ends.

In order to release a thread handle without waiting for the thread to finish, use Threaddetach.

ThreadWait does not force the thread to end; if a thread requires a signal to force its end, a mechanism such as shared variables and mutexes must be used.

See the ThreadCreate examples.

• Threading is not allowed in the -lang qb dialect.
  
  

• ThreadWait is not available with the DOS version of FreeBASIC, because multithreading is not supported by DOS kernel nor the used extender.
