一、多线程体系结构
主线程创建程序所需要的所有窗口，并包括所有的窗口过程，以便处理这些窗口的所有消息；其他线程只进行一些后台处理，除了与主线程进行通信，他们不与用户进行交流。
超过1/10秒的事件(大作业，如拼写检测、数据库排序、打印)不应该放在消息队列中，而应该放在单独的线程中处理。
在线程终止时，线程创建的资源不会自动释放。
二、多线程API：
hThread = CreateThread(...)
DWORD WINAPI ThreadProc([PVOID pParam)
_beginthread(...)
void __cdecl ThreadProc(void* pParam)///在此函数结尾一般有_endthread();
ResumeThread //恢复线程
Sleep(0)//线程交出尚未完成的时间片。
三、MSDN

=================
注解。
临界区，任意时刻只有一个线程可以进入临界区：
init: BOOL isused = false; //表示没线程进入临界区
enter: while(isused){sleep(1);} isused=true;
leave: isused = false;
临界区只能用于同一进程内不同线程间的协调。不同进程间的协调，要用互斥。
事件对象的用法：
初始化
hEvent = CreateEvent (NULL, FALSE, FALSE, NULL) ;
beginthread (Thread, 0, ¶ms) ;
线程函数：
void Thread (PVOID pvoid)
{
hEvent = ...//从pvoid中获得
while (TRUE)
{
WaitForSingleObject (hEvent, INFINITE) ;
//。。。。。。。。。。主体
}
}
开始执行：
SetEvent (hEvent) ;
