start a thread from another thread

[white_dragon]

Hi
I want to start another thread from within a CActive class.
I understand that a good way is to create another CActive derived class and start it.
I added the relevant init code of my main CActive derived class.
also there is non working code I tried in the RunL method ...
What is the way to start a new thread from the main CActive class ?
does the second CActive class have the same init methods ?
Do I have to create a new scheduler ?
Do I use SetActive() in the second thread ?
Please advise about this issue

Thanks in advance

void CMyAppUi::ConstructL()
{
	iActiveClass=CActiveClass::NewL(this);
}

CActiveClass* CActiveClass::NewL(CMyAppUi * aAppUi)
{
	CActiveClass* self = new (ELeave) CActiveClass();
	self->iAppUi = aAppUi;
	CleanupStack::PushL(self);
	self->ConstructL();
	CleanupStack::Pop(self);
	return self;
}

CActiveClass::CActiveClass()
: CActive(CActive::EPriorityStandard)
{
	CActiveScheduler::Add(this);
}

void CActiveClass::ConstructL()
{
	SetActive(); 
}
	
void CActiveClass::RunL()
{
	//*** here I want to start another Active Class ***

	/* I tried this code but it didnt work :
	iSecondActiveClass=CSecondActiveClass::NewL(iAppUi);
	CActiveScheduler* current = CActiveScheduler::Current();
	CActiveScheduler* scheduler = new (ELeave) CActiveScheduler;
	CActiveScheduler::Install(NULL); 
	CActiveScheduler::Install(scheduler); 
	CActiveScheduler::Add(iSecondActiveClass);
	CActiveScheduler::Start();
	CActiveScheduler::Replace(current);*/
}

maybe you should read the "threads programming" paper written by Nokia, it gives quite good pointers on using threads.
