Hi all,

If I use Threads and some Memory Banks do I need to take
different #Memory Banknumbers for each Thread, or not?

My Problem is the following:
I create a Dll, where the calling App creates a thread, each time, a Procedure is called. Now I need some Memory in this Procedure.

Are those #Memory-Numbers shared between the Treads, or can i just use the same for them all?

Thanks,

Timo

Yes, all ID are global. All is shared.

@Freak:

Why not using the WinAPI Command GlobalAlloc_(), so you do not have to use and IDs. It returns a pointer directly to your reserved mem.

I think this is more comfortable.

That's not really good, when it comes to threads. You cant't use Arrays, Linked Lists, MemoryID's... (only with mutex stuff)

So I thing, i'm going to use Global_Alloc_() instead.

Thanks for answering...

Once you have an idea, you can use it safely with the thread.. Anyway, I will soon change all the memory allocation stuff and remove the banks, as it's lowlevel enough.
