Hi,

I have a CXTShellListCtrl in a dialog box.  When I close the dialog box and then navigate using the Windows Explorer to the directory that the CXTShellListCtrl was displaying and delete a file, or add a file my program will crash. 

It crashes in CXTDirWatcher, there is a WaitForMultipleObject(...,INIFINT) in the InitInstance, since the dialog box is closed thread object is actually deleted, but it is still running, when the event hits, the thread crashes.

If I remember correctly I sent you guys a fix for this a year or so ago?

Do you guys have a fix for this?

If I remember correctly the fix is to change the thread into a worker thread instead of a gui thread.
