And are you sure that this is _really_ necessary? Do they _really_ want to determine whether the thread is still running, or would they just like to know whether it's time to return from the Action() function? I don't know the internals of these plugins, therefore my question. > To make it worse, they don't access the old "active" var, so I > guess your changes won't make them fail compile. That variable was private to some derived cThread classes in VDR, so they couldn't have accessed them, anyway. I was referring to cases where plugins might have used an 'active' variable (or whatever they may have called it) in the same way VDR did. Klaus
