Hi Ali, The get_priority method return an osPriority value. osPriority is an enum defined as: <<code>> typedef enum { osPriorityIdle = -3, ///< priority: idle (lowest) osPriorityLow = -2, ///< priority: low osPriorityBelowNormal = -1, ///< priority: below normal osPriorityNormal = 0, ///< priority: normal (default) osPriorityAboveNormal = +1, ///< priority: above normal osPriorityHigh = +2, ///< priority: high osPriorityRealtime = +3, ///< priority: realtime (highest) osPriorityError = 0x84 ///< system cannot determine priority or thread has illegal priority } osPriority; <</code>> You can change the priority of a thread by using (for instance): <<code>> thread.set_priority(osPriorityHigh) <</code>> Cheers, Sam

Thanks Sam! But for some reason when I tried to print it to screen it didn't work as follows: int g = thread.get_priority(); pc.putc((char)g); it compiles, but nothing is printed to screen

Never mind, got it. cheers!

Ali, Can you publish a example how to set the priority of a thread. Thanks, Gerrit
