Thanks! So the following should work (please correct me if I'm wrong):
I add a cMutex object in the cList derived class and 2 functions:
class cThreadSafecList: public cList<...> {
...
private:
cMutex mutex;
public:
void Lock(void) { mutex.Lock(); }
void Unlock(void) { mutex.Unlock(); }
...
}
extern cThreadSafecList MyThreadSafecList;
Every member function with access to the list objects calls Lock and
Unlock at the beginning and end of the function.
Every direct access to the MyThreadSafecList object (to loop throug or
manipulate the list objects) must make sure to call
MyThreadSafecList.Lock and MyThreadSafecList.Unlock. The locking time
should be short to avoid a sluggish OSD, if one accesses
MyThreadSafecList in the main thread.
BR,
