Win32 Threads

Post by cmenge » Thu May 18, 2006 4:26 pm

Hey Guys,

I'm planing the process of converting my application over to Revolution. The original application was writen using C/C++, Win32 API and MS Visual Studio 7.1.


(1) A couple sections of the software contain Win32 threads. We need to be able to change thread priorities, start and stop, etc.

- Can I create threads with Revolution and how might I do that?

(2) We are also using interprocess communications, Windows Sockets, more specificly UDP sockets.

- Can I send UDP packets?

Thanks!

The equivalent to threads is the "send x to me in y seconds" that's not a real threat however, check it out in the documentation and look if it fits your bill.

UDP sockets are possible.
