Waiting for multiples threads using WaitForMultipleObjects

Viewed 12458

I'm using the WaitForMultipleObjects function to wait for the finalization of several threads, but I'm doing something wrong because the result is not the expected

see this sample code

type
  TForm1 = class(TForm)
    Memo1: TMemo;
    Button1: TButton;
    procedure Button1Click(Sender: TObject);
  private
  end;

  TFoo = class(TThread)
  private
    Factor: Double;
    procedure ShowData;
  protected
    procedure Execute; override;
    constructor Create(AFactor : Double);
  end;


var
  Form1: TForm1;

implementation

Uses
 Math;

{$R *.dfm}

{ TFoo }

constructor TFoo.Create(AFactor: Double);
begin
  inherited Create(False);
  Factor := AFactor;
  FreeOnTerminate := True;

end;

procedure TFoo.Execute;
const
  Max=100000000;
var
  i : Integer;
begin
  inherited;
  for i:=1 to Max do
    Factor:=Sqrt(Factor);

  Synchronize(ShowData);
end;

procedure TFoo.ShowData;
begin
  Form1.Memo1.Lines.Add(FloatToStr(Factor));
end;

procedure TForm1.Button1Click(Sender: TObject);
const
 nThreads=5;
Var
 tArr  : Array[1..nThreads]  of TFoo;
 hArr  : Array[1..nThreads]  of THandle;
 i     : Integer;
 rWait : Cardinal;
begin
  for i:=1  to nThreads do
   begin
     tArr[i]:=TFoo.Create(Pi*i);
     hArr[i]:=tArr[i].Handle;
   end;

  repeat
    rWait:= WaitForMultipleObjects(nThreads, @hArr, True, 100);
    Application.ProcessMessages;
  until rWait<>WAIT_TIMEOUT;
  //here I want to show this message when all the threads are terminated    
  Memo1.Lines.Add('Wait done');
end;

end.

this is the current output of the demo app

1
Wait done
1
1
1
1

but I want something like this

1
1
1
1
1
Wait done

How I must use the WaitForMultipleObjects function to wait until all the thread are terminated?
