Diffence between CreateThread and AfxBeginThread

[raj]

Hi,
I just want to know the difference between thread created by
CreateThread and AfxBeginThread function. I got one problem when using
the CreateThread. The appliction malfunction while using the
CreateThread. So is that a problem with this function?

Thanks in advance

Standard C++ has no notion of, nor support for threads in any way, you
would be better of in an OS specific newsgroup.

The former is a system call API and the latter is an equivalent that
works together with the MFC framework.

In microsoft.public.vc.mfc they could have told you that

AfxBeginThread sets up MFC stuff, then calls
_beginthreadex which sets up CRT stuff, then calls
::CreateThread, which is a Win32 API and really creates the thread.

MFC has all kinds of data structures which need to be switched on a per-
thread basis. AfxBeginThread takes care of setting this up. If you call
::CreateThread "behind the back" of MFC, things will not work.

Now, what was your C++ question ?
