Description

This sample code shows how to create a Thread Controller HIObject which will act as the controller between the User Interface and the thread.

This sample code has been updated to include a project that produces a universal binary. No code changes were required for it to run correctly on the Developer Transition Systems.

Thus the User Interface controls the thread and the thread can easily communicate with the User Interface.

Relies mainly on the PostEventToQueue API (CarbonEventsCore.h).
