how to create thread with callback

[Daniel]

How does .NET in VC++ create a new thread. I need to be able to run a
procedure within a thread that will notify me when that procedure is done so
that I can continue with the next procedure. I can't go to the next
procedure until the first one is completely through. I believe it is called
a callback.

System : :Threading namespace

What is it called when I have the thread notify me that it's done? In
visual basic it's called raising an event. Win32 API calls it callback. I
need to know how to do that. I need to have a word to search the MSDN
documentation.

this could help you, process.waitforexit();
its placed on system :: diagnostics namespace, its clearly independent
of threads creation, u can conbine its use with threads so you obtain
parallel processes working at the same time.
I ve used all I say only once, so take care please.
hope this helps, Carlos.

excuseme, now I have not my things here, I cant verify
I used what I ve told u.

Perhaps this code could help u

ProcessStartInfo ^prData;
prData = new ProcessStartInfo();
prData->Verb = "open";
prData->FileName = "c:\\file.txt";
Process ^pr = Process::Start(prInfo);

.... I havent a compiler now, I believe from here
you can call pr::Waitforexit( ) the way u want

wrong copy-paste on last post

ProcessStartInfo ^prData;
prData = gcnew ProcessStartInfo();
prData->Verb = "open";
prData->FileName = "c:\\file.txt";
Process ^pr = Process::Start(prData);

Try BackgroundWorker class.
