Windows Threading problem

[_haddadIssa_]

hi,
I'm try to use windows thread to send a http request on a asynchron mode but it looks that Indesign don't support multi-threading,
i have used CIdleTask and CIdleTaskThread but in processing the request Indsign interface an menu looks to be disabled untill request finish so here i think that threading if it works it will not be on background,
when i use the windows threads ,an assert dialog is showed "QueryInterface use thread not safe !"
please have someone a solution ??
thanks in advance

Do not call InDesign methods from your separate thread.
Set a completion flag when done and watch that flag from your idle task.

Hi,

I have to perform the same task of posting data using http request and I want to do this activity on different thread. For this I have created a new thread using windows API's but I am also getting the same assert "QueryInterface not thread safe" while executing the thread.

I am not able to figure out how to resolve this. Is it possibel to do multithreading in CS3/CS4.

Can you guys elaborate more how to acheive multithreading in InDesign.

Thanks in advance.

You have to maintain a private queue, without using any InDesign classes.

The thread feeds the queue, and the idle task within InDesign's main thread polls it.
