- Subject: main thread of a process
I want to send messages to the main thread of a Win process created with
'spawn'. Is there a way to do that in 'pure Cygwin'?
The Windows sequence would be:
CreateProcess(NULL, cmd, NULL, NULL, FALSE, 0, NULL, NULL, &si, &pi);
...
PostThreadMessage(pi.dwThreadId, WM_QUIT, 0, 0); //or whatever
...
'spawn' returns the 'pid' of the new process. Is that always equal to
pi.dwProcessId? Is there a way to get from this 'pid' to sending messages to
the main thread? Is there a place where pi.dwThreadId is saved?
(global structure, etc.)
Thanks,
Greg
