ThreadSuspend (Function)

In french: ThreadSuspend

Warning
This function is strongly not recommended because it violently stops the current thread. It can cause serious problems (critical section not released, etc.). It is recommended to use ThreadWaitSignal and ThreadSendSignal.

Temporarily suspends the execution of the specified thread. The current processes is not locked. To resume the execution of the thread, use ThreadResume.

Reminder: A thread is a process run in parallel with the current application (main thread). This allows you to run a task in the background (e.g. backup, etc.).

Example

// -- Click on the BTN_Save button
// Interrupts the print in background task
ThreadSuspend("Print_background")
// Backup
...
// Resume the print
ThreadResume("Print_background")

Syntax

ThreadSuspend(<Thread name>)

<Thread name>: Character string (with quotes)

Name of the thread to suspend. This name is given when running the thread (ThreadExecute).
No error occurs if the name of the thread does not exist.
Caution: the thread name cannot be an empty string: you cannot suspend the current thread.

Remarks

In order for the current thread to wait for another thread, use ThreadWaitSignal.
