Is it possible to start a wxThread within an existing wxThread

[robbiegregg]

Hi,

I would like to update an application of mine comprising a main GUI and a calculation wxThread which is run once the user clicks on a button to start the calculation.

Within this calculation, I have a function which take approximately 10 seconds to complete, and there are usually 10 executions required every time step. Currently these are run one after another.

I would like to have these function calls running in parallel by having multiple threads. My question is if I simply initiate multiple wxThreads from within my calculation wxThread, should this approach utilise the idle processors on my machine? I am finding the time per calculation is significantly more time than before.

I've never done this myself, but from everything i know it should be possible to create a thread from inside another worker thread.

I also didn't find anything in the documentation or the source code that tells otherwise.
