Multithreading :: MFC

Hi. I am using multithread quite often now in my program when appropriate. According to Jeff Prosise, there are two simple ways of using multithreading correctly, especially worker threads. ----- 1: private HANDLE + duplicating thread handle upon instantiation This solution make use of ::CloseThread(...) 2: private pointer to CWinThread + delete private member This solution requires setting thread autodelete to FALSE and deleting thread manually. ----- Right now, I am using solution #2. The reason is I would know the thread is really gone because I delete, not MFC. Nonetheless, I have seen developers use both. Jeffrey Richter uses solution #1 in his book, Programming Applications for Microsoft Windows (Dv-Mps General). Are there advantages one solution has over the other? Thanks, Kuphryn
