Thread start

[Peter Lameijn]

I have a program that starts a thread from the main Dialog's callback function (on %WM_INITDIALOG)
When the thread stops, the main dialog callback also seems to die (cpu at 100%, screen frozen)
Is it allowed to start threads from a callback? I've found lots of info on how and why to start threads,
but not on where not to start them

I do not have that problem:

#compile exe
#dim all
#register none
#include "win32api.inc"
 
declare callback function DlgProc
 
function pbmain
 
    local hDlg as long
 
    dialog new 0, "",,,400, 300, %WS_SYSMENU or %WS_MINIMIZEBOX or %DS_CENTER to hDlg
    dialog show modal hDlg call DlgProc
 
end function
 
function ThreadFunc(byval hDlg as long) as long
 
    sleep 1000
    msgbox "See you...",,"ThreadFunc"
    SetWindowText hDlg, "Dialog still OK..."
 
end function	
 
callback function DlgProc
 
    local r as long, h as long
 
    select case cbMsg
    case %WM_INITDIALOG
	thread create ThreadFunc(cbhndl) to h : thread close h to r
 
    end select
 
end function
