No, I think it is not ICS related yet, I just wanted this to be stable *before* putting much code of ICS into it. I don't want to make the same mistake as in the first run. Build it step by step now and test after each step. > >> - this thread has a message pump with peekmessage and pm_remove > > Bad. Use GetMessage or your thread will eat all CPU available to it. Okay, but I thought it could block events, but as they're triggered by windows messages anyway any timers or ICS components etc. which use events will be triggered then and run fine I assume. > >> How can I avoid to terminate the thread from finalize if the normal way >> fails maybe due to a program crash? > > Why worry if program crash ? A crash is a crash. Yes and no. If the program simply fails I don't want to have to restart the whole PC just because of that. The dll should terminate all connections gracefully then so that you just need to restart the failed app. again and all is okay. > >> What happens if the dll is used statically and what if dynamically? > > No change except the time when finalize called. > >> What if several apps use the dll at the same time? > > No change. > >> is initialization/finalization being called several times? > > Yes, but with different data sections.

Okay, as somebody else already told me I shouldn't create the thread from initialize anyway. If I have changed that I won't be a problem anyway.
