Re: [Dev-C++] how to update data constantly?

Thanks so much, Rafael.

I think I understand your method to solve the problem what I met.
And I believe this method can help me solve the problem.
But it is a little bit difficult.
I mean, for the whole code structure, you need one more thread to trigger my
GUI code.
Then the whole structure of the project is not that reasonable.  :-)

Your idea is based on "Singal Triggered".  It belongs to the design of
CPU-bound system.
(As my understanding, CPU-bound system triggers events by signals.)
But unfortunately, it seems Win32 API GUI design is I/O bound system.
(As my understanding, I/O bound system triggers events by I/O input, like
buttons.)
Your consideration is still great and classic, specially when using
CPU-bound system.

Now I am using Chris' way to solve my problem.
"A commonly used technique is to have the GUI thread check the reader
thread every X miliseconds."

BTW, I am new in the area of Win32 API programming.  Anything wrong/unclear,
pls let me know.
