Hello,
My question is about how to implement "A wait for signal".
Assume that we have a thread class TMyThread drived from a TThread and its 
Execute method is as following code

void __fastcall TMyThread::Execute(void)
{
  while(!Terminated) {
     // Do something
     WaitSignalFromControllerApplication || Terminated
  }//while(!Terminated)
}

TMyThread will wait until terminated or until it receive a particular signal 
from another controller application or from another controller thread.
We may have multiple intances of the TMyThread and we want ALL instances be 
signalled by the controller application. Controller has no knowledge about 
the number of waiting threads.

How can we implement this "wait" logic? Can you give some examples?

Thx
Rieve Tulox
