Subject: RE: [ntdev] How can I terminate a thread created by
_beginthread( )


	If a thread x has to exit by itself it will call _endthread().
	_endthread() does not have any parameter for specifying the thread
identifier.
	whereas a TerminateThread() has got one.
	If a thead x has to kill or terminate a thread y then 
	 x will call TerminateThread(handle of thread y)
	Equivalent of _endthread() is ExitThread() which are both
clean ways to exit.

Where as TerminateThread will not notify the DLLs 
attached to the process which prohibit the DLL_THREAD_DETACH
to be called for all the DLLs.

I think TerminateThread() can also be used for threads
created by the _beginthread(). Because anyway cleanup
code will not be called.

But _endthread() is clean way for a thread to exit which
was created by the _beginthread() because it will be 
executing some cleanup code in the C Run time libraries.

	use _beginthreadex()  which predicates using _endthreadex()

	Hi,

	I am using VC++6.0 on NT4.0.

	I need to terminate a thread which is created by _beginthread(). I
know if I
	call CreateThread(), I can get a thread handle in type of HANDLE,
then I can
	call TerminateThread() to terminate it. But how can I do the same
thing with
	_beginthread() ?
