pProc	The procedure called upon thread startup.
pArg	The arguments passed to the procedure.
pSuspend	Start the thread suspended.

Constructor.

Parameters:

pProc	The procedure called upon thread startup.
pArg	The arguments passed to the procedure.
pPriority	The thread priority to set upon creation.
pSuspend	Start the thread suspended.

virtual ~FbxThread ( ) [virtual]

Destructor.

bool Suspend ( )

Suspend the execution of the thread.

Returns:: Return true if the thread was successfully suspended, otherwise false.

Remarks:: It should be used only if you can control where the thread will be suspended in its procedure, otherwise the state of the thread and its memory is unknown, since the code will stop anywhere.

bool Resume ( )

Resume the execution of the thread.
