Problem with WaitForMultipleObjects

[VbEndUser]

Dear all GURUs,

I'm facing a problem with my WaitForMultipleObjects function.
I'm writing a thread to wait for 3 result using event.
When getting all the result, then only i proceed to next step.

I have a start button to trigger the thread start and stop.
After the thread start, my problem will call WaitForMultipleObjects to wait for all the result complete.
If i press stop now, the WaitForMultipleObjects seem to be on going. it did not stop when i press stop.
How can i stop the WaitForMultipleObjects once i stop the thread? if not after the timing, it will proceed to next step.

void CMyFunction::Run()
{
DWORD dwEvent=0;

while(m_bStart)
{
dwEvent = WaitForMultipleObjects(
3, // number of objects in array
m_hEvent, // array of objects
TRUE, // wait for any object
5000); // five-second wait

//proceed to next step
AfxMessageBox("Done");

};
}

Thanks.

May be you simply didn't process the Stop button? Because your main thread was blocked?
Try using MsgWaitForMultipleObjects() instead.

Another way would be to not use WFMO at all.
Instead let your threads PostMessage a user defined message to the main GUI thread notifying that the thread is about to stop (exit, and so on...)
