Hi,
I have a Carbon Dynamic Library (built using XCode) that is a plug-in to
another application. Basically it uses QuickTime to grab frames of a movie
and then analyzes each frame and produces a re****t at the end.
It works really well, except that it hogs the processor and the host
application is locked out until the end of the movie.
What I would like to be able to do is to Start up a new thread and have
this
process the movie, the host application would then "poll" a flag to see if
it
had finished.
How can I go about doing this? What do***ents should I look at? Any advice
greatly appreciated.
All the Best
Dave
