Hi, maybe it's possible with your GUI framework to post a user defined 
message from your working thread to the frame work's event queue (if the 
thread is done with the assigned work). One have to determine if the 
frame work has such a event queue and if it's save to access the queue 
from different threads. But if it's possible, you can react to the end 
of the working thread in your GUI like if it where a pressed button.
