I have a modeless dialog that I spawn a seperate thread using m_hGThread1=AfxBeginThread(Animate_Graph,0,THREAD_PRIORITY_NORMAL,0,0,NULL) to handle the graphics seperately from the dialog. I'm using a critical section for locking. Under stress testing it deadlocks the application. Using VC7/MFC. What am I doing wrong?

I think it may be a design problem. I need to figure out how to attach to the CStatic picture control that holds the bitmap I'm modifying. Seems to hang in the message pump.

Think about giving test-first design a try. I would bet that you wouldn't have gotten stuck there if you had. It forces you to take your programming step-by-step, but correctly the whole way. It can also be fun. Check it out.
