So I can use a lock to implement the pause -- neat. Just acquire the
lock in my main thread and that will stop the worker thread from
continuing until I release it.

However this still requires that my worker thread poll. And doesn't
take care of quitting the worker thread. Any better way?

It's not clear what you would like to be able to do. Do you mean you want to be able to pause and terminate your worker thread without performing any tests within its main loop?

Is there not communication between worker and GUI anyway, to inform of progress?

Best wishes,
Hamish
