Posted: 11/18/07 11:41:45 Modified: 11/18/07 11:53:02 Hi, Instead of using the WINAPI TLSxxx functions like TlsAlloc?() I would prefer to use the ThreadLocal? class. Is anybody willing to offer me a small example ? Many thanks in advance, Bjoern

I meant the LocalThread? class. http://www.dsource.org/projects/tango/docs/current/tango.core.Thread.html (at the bottom) I thought I could use this class ; (But probabely I am completely wrong.) alias ThreadLocal!(null) tls; ..... Beside the data I have to deal with : // Used for Thread Local Storage (TLS) struct TLSData { CWnd rCWnd; // ref to CWnd object for Window creation HHOOK hCBTHook; // CBT hook for Window creation CMenubar rMenubar; // ref to CMenubar object HHOOK hMenuHook; // MSG hook for CMenubar ................... etc };

Something like this shall do it... alias ThreadLocal!(TLSData) MyData; MyData data = new MyData( getSomeInitialTLSData() ); // retrieve TLSData d = data.val(); // store data.val( getSomeTLSData() ); Is it this, you are looking for?
