Add-In details

Do Add-Ins run in their own threads?

Thread or Process?


It can't be in a same thread but in the same process. I think.

[John Z]

I'm wondering if Add-In(s) run in their own thread using for example:
hThread = CreateThread(NULL,0,Show_Escape,NULL,NORMAL_PRIORITY_CLASS,&threadPtr);

I've minimized use of globals but knowing if they run in a thread opens up that possibility.

Process Explorer shows only one thread id.


These Add-Ins create own thread:

Thanks very much TimoVJL.

I think that answers my question, well, unless so fast that the thread existence is not captured.  So best to keep Globals to a minimum..

Thanks!  Great example (and using your new tool too!)

Shows Pick Font using the same thread as poide - plenty of time to view as Pick Font is waiting user input.

SrcFileCC_WS_a1:
Great example code to do various things, like add buttons instead of menu items.
