Thread and COM Object.

[Sam Davis]

I have a COM object that manages a phone line. The COM Object has an Event
OnRingDetected( ) which is called when someone calls the phone line this COM
object is monitoring. When the OnRingDetected is called it is supposed to
kick off a process that executes a script. I would like this all in a service
that is capable of doing this for multiple phone lines. I was thinking of
placing these objects in a thread but how do you tell the thread not to
terminate while the COM Object is waitng for a call to come in??? Any ideas.
My brain is just fried today.. Thanks for any help!

Re: Thread and COM Object.



keep a while loop to check some conditions before allowing a thread to exit.

while ( bConditon)
{
// do your stuff.
}

This is a typical service structure. You could also use
WaitForSingleOb ject of WaitForMultiple Objects to watch for some events.

There are a lot of samples codes if you google.

Re: Thread and COM Object.

Thanks John. I thought of the while but was concerned for CPU utilization. I
changed my thought process a little. I left the object out of a thread and
just threaded the processing once the call came in. So far it seems ok, until
I have multiple lines running. :)
