A Way to Substitute Multi-Threading Programming at Windows

Abstract:

After the emergence of multi-threading technology, which improve the efficiency of the system and improve the running speed of the procedure has played a significant role. While multi-threading has its rare, but not omnipotent, after all, multi-threaded, and it also has many deficiencies. If the programmers simply hold the pursuit of multi-threaded, in the case of improper application, it will reduce the efficiency of procedures, resulting in error that can not be resolved. The paper aims to explain a way to instead of multi-threaded to complete background work: override OnIdle() function of CWinApp class to deal with background tasks. Of course, the function can not be used to complete complex and demanding real-time occasions.
