ProcessThread
Synopsis
This class represents a thread, the smallest unit of execution
under Win32. Use Process.Threads to get an
array of all the threads contained within a given process. As with
processes, a thread runs with a given priority.
BasePriority represents the base priority for a
thread. From time to time, the operating system changes a
thread’s priority; a thread’s current priority is available from
CurrentPriority. Threads in background
applications run with a lower priority, as do threads that are
sleeping. BasePriority
PriorityLevel specifies a range of appropriate
priorities for a thread.
If a process is ProcessPriorityClass.Normal,
ProcessPriorityClass.High, or
ProcessPriorityClass.RealTime, you can set a
thread’s PriorityBoostEnabled to true. This
gives the thread an extra boost whenever the user is
interacting with the program’s user interface. You can make a
thread prefer one processor over another by setting the value of
IdealProcessor.
ProcessorAffinity allows you to set up a
bitfield that represents one or more preferred processors. Bit 0
represents the first processor, bit 1 the second, and so on. For
example, a ProcessorAffinity of
0x0005 (bits 0 and 2 on) indicates that the
first and third processor are preferred. Use
ResetIdealProcessor() to tell the thread that it
can run on any processor, leaving the processor choice up to the
operating system.
ThreadState returns the current state of a thread. If a thread is waiting, you can retrieve the reason ...
