我是多线程的新手,但不是一个完整的新手。我需要在工作线程中执行对 Web 服务的调用。
在主线程中,我有一个带有私有数据成员(私有字符串)的表单(TForm),只有工作线程才会写入(我在线程恢复之前将指向它的指针传递给线程)。当工作线程完成其 web 服务调用并将生成的响应 xml 写入表单上的私有成员时,工作线程使用 PostMessage 将消息发送到表单的句柄(在恢复之前我也将其传递给线程)。
interface
const WM_WEBSERVCALL_COMPLETE = WM_USER + 1;
type
TWebServiceResponseXML = string;
PWebServiceResponseXML = ^TWebServiceResponseXML;
TMyForm = class(TForm)
...
private
...
fWorkerThreadID: Cardinal;
fWebServiceResponseXML: TWebServiceResponseXML;
public
...
procedure StartWorkerThread;
procedure OnWebServiceCallComplete(var Message: TMessage); Message WM_WEBSERVCALL_COMPLETE;
end;
TMyThread = class(TThread)
private
protected
procedure Execute; override;
public
SenderHandle: HWnd;
RequestXML: string;
ResponseXML: string;
IMyService: IService;
PResponseXML: PWebServiceResponseXML;
end;
implementation
procedure TMyForm.StartWorkerThread;
var
MyWorkerThread: TMyThread;
begin
MyWorkerThread := TMyThread.Create(True);
MyWorkerThread.FreeOnTerminate := True;
MyWorkerThread.SenderHandle := self.Handle;
MyWorkerThread.RequestXML := ComposeRequestXML;
MyWorkerThread.PResponseXML := ^fWebServiceResponseXML;
MyWorkerThread.Resume;
end;
procedure TMyForm.OnWebServiceCallComplete(var Message: TMessage);
begin
// Do what you want with the response xml string in fWebServiceResponseXML
end;
procedure TMyThread.Execute;
begin
inherited;
CoInitialize(nil);
try
IMyService := IService.GetMyService(URI);
ResponseXML := IMyService.Search(RequestXML);
PResponseXML := ResponseXML;
PostMessage(SenderHandle, WM_WEBSERVCALL_COMPLETE, 0, 0);
finally
CoUninitialize;
end;
end;
It works great, but now I want to do the same thing from a datamodule (which doesn't have a Handle)... so I would really appreciate some useful code to supplement the working model I have.
EDIT
What I really want is the code (if possible) that would allow me to replace the line
MyWorkerThread.SenderHandle := self.Handle;
with
MyWorkerThread.SenderHandle := GetHandleForThisSOAPDataModule;
