Hi everybody
I was developing a simulation system which I developed a 3d scenery and there’ll be an external hardware to control the interaction with the scenery.
My problem is, when I read data from the comunication port(rs232) the FPS for my application will termendously dropped and my application become so slow. So I realize that if only threading can solve my problem which I 'll put the reading process in a thread so that it will not affect the rendering process. But unfortunately, I never done threading before. Can anybody lend me a hand about my problem?
Thank you so much.

//you start your thread by function, where

WaitForSingleObject((HANDLE)_beginthreadex(NULL, 0, ServerOn, (void*)“”, 0, NULL), 0);
//function ServerOn must look like that
unsigned int WINAPI ServerOn(void* dummy) {
for (int i=0; i’less than’10; i++) {
Sleep(1000);
printf("my thread is running
");
}
return 0;
