Receive CAN messages in a new thread pool

[Marcolinus]

Hi, I use a thread to receive CAN msg like code below: 

int CVICALLBACK DataAcqThreadFunction (void *functionData);
int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
    int panelHandle;
    int functionId;
   
        DisplayPanel (panelHandle);

    CmtScheduleThreadPoolFunction (DEFAULT_THREAD_POOL_HANDLE, DataAcqThreadFunction, NULL, &functionId);
    RunUserInterface ();
    DiscardPanel (panelHandle);
    return 0;
}
int CVICALLBACK DataAcqThreadFunction (void *functionData)
{
    while (!quit) {
        ncWaitForState(...)

        ...
    }
    return 0;
}

the code works fine but i need to close the thread, unfortunately the thread is locked in ncWaitforstate so i can not terminate it until i receive at least one msg.

Have you some idea to implement a receive method in a new thread without polling type?

thanks

Can you not use the timeout facility of the ncWaitForState() function to allow for a termination to be handled more cleanly? At least it would prevent the thread from becoming locked in the function.

I need a thread that stays always in listening mode to catch any kind of msg. In fact, i use ncWaitForState(panelHandle, NC_ST_READ_AVAIL, NC_DURATION_INFINITE,0)

Thanks
