Threading on windows platform (C++)

Question

how to use threading on windows platform, do i need to include some lib or dll file, is there some command?

Answer 1

I'd use Boost.Thread, with which you gain portability as well as ease of use.

Answer 2

The Windows API (Win32) includes a number of threading tools.

Since you tagged this as C++ and not C, you might however consider using something more elaborate like just::thread (or std::thread if your compiler supports it) or Boost.Thread like usta suggested.

Answer 3

Use the general CRT/ Windows API handles & functions (_beginthread, _beginthreadex, etc.) or MFC classes, like this example.
