It is typically very bad to make the UI thread block on any child thread. So, while you could post a task with a WaitableEvent that gets signaled from your Task's Run method, that really is something you should avoid. Without more information about what you are trying to do, it is hard to give you good advice on an alternative solution. -Darin --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ Chromium Developers mailing list: [email protected] View archives, change email options, or unsubscribe: http://groups.google.com/group/chromium-dev -~----------~----~----~----~------~----~------~--~---
