thread ending: how does another thread know??? 2

[scienzia]

How do I know when a thread is ended?!?

I create a thread with beginthread function, and manage to ensure it is closing before closing the program:

readytoclose=TRUE;
endthread();

and everithing is ok, but if I press CTRL_ALT_CANC I see the program is still alive, and I know the objects haven't been closed...

How can I solve this problem...

Try with Functions GetThreadPriority( hThread) (returns THREAD_PRIORITY_ERROR_RETURN if thread does not exist), GetThreadTimes(hThread,...) (returns 0 if thread does not exist) ResumeThread(hThread) etc.

I think the best way is GetExitCodeThread:

DWORD dwExitCode;
if ( !GetExitCodeThread ( hThread, &dwExitCode ))
{ // something went wrong, probably hThread invalid
..... } else
{ if ( dwExitCode == STILL_ACTIVE )
{ // Thread is still running
.... } else
{ // Thread has stopped
.... } }
