InMainThread Function

Determine if the current thread is the main thread for the application.

Pascal

function InMainThread: Boolean;

Returns

boolean - True when the current thread is the main application thread.

Description

InMainThread is a boolean function used to determine if the current thread of execution is the main thread for the application. InMainThread can be used to determine if UI components, like TIdAntiFreeze, should be allowed to execute. InMainThread is also used when performing threaded notifications in TIdNotify.

Use IsCurrentThread to determine if a specific thread is the current thread of execution.

Notes

On the .Net platform, InMainThread compares the MainThread to the value returned from System.Threading.Thread.CurrentThread in the .Net framework.

For all other platforms, the values in GetCurrentThreadID and MainThreadID are used for the comparision.
