IDirectPlay8ThreadPool Interface

Applications use the methods of the IDirectPlay8ThreadPool interface to manage threads in a Microsoft® DirectPlay® application.

IDirectPlay8ThreadPool Members

Close	Closes the IDirectPlay8ThreadPool object.
DoWork	Performs work that is currently scheduled.
GetThreadCount	Retrieves the number of threads for the specified processor or all processors.
Initialize	Initializes the thread pool interface for the process.
SetThreadCount	Changes the number of threads for a specified processor or all processors.

Remarks

The serial and modem service providers do not support the IDirectPlay8ThreadPool interface. Therefore, if you use these service providers, you must handle multithreaded callbacks from threads that did not generate a DPN_MSGID_CREATE_THREAD message when created.

DirectPlay Voice uses a different set of threads to perform audio capture, playback, and message notification. If you use the IDirectPlayVoiceClient or IDirectPlayVoiceServer interface, you must handle multithreaded callbacks from threads that did not generate a DPN_MSGID_CREATE_THREAD message when created.
