Threadpool RunAsync with data struct - Windows store / WinRT

Question

im trying to convert some code from Windows to Windows store / WinRT

but im having a hard time finding information on how to start new thread and send a data struct like in Windows where you just queue a QueueUserWorkItem with a WinCallback and a state

any good suggestions

Answer 1

In most cases you will be best off using the task system for asynchronous programming in Windows Store apps. See Asynchronous programming with C++. If that won't meet your specific needs then you can use the thread pool directly. See Using the thread pool in Windows Store apps for details.

Answer 3

Hi arosendal

You need to use thread pool. Here you can also send a function for executing into a different thread. Like Windows you can send function pointer to delegate and execute the completion delegate. See the link Rob mentioned and clarify your exact problem.
