Which is the correct way to wait for a Thread.finalization and keep my application responsive

Question

Actually i am using this code and works ok, but i \'am wondering if is the correct way.

  while WaitForSingleObject(MyThread.Handle, 0) = WAIT_TIMEOUT do
    App         


        

Answer 1

It looks correct (if correct means it do the work). What I would change is to wait for a bit more time (50ms looks good to maintain the application responsive) while not eating CPU.

while WaitForSingleObject(MyThread.Handle, 50) = WAIT_TIMEOUT do
  Application.ProcessMessages;
ShowMessage('i am done');

Sure there are other ways to do it... but I usually apply one of the main engineering principles:

if it works, don't touch it!
