Here it is Create a thread in suspended state. hThrd1 = CreateThread(NULL, 0, (LPTHREAD_START_ROUTINE)

  • 0

Here it is

  1. Create a thread in suspended state.

    hThrd1 = CreateThread(NULL, 0, (LPTHREAD_START_ROUTINE) ThreadProc1, (LPVOID)
&obj1, CREATE_SUSPENDED, &dwFirstThreadID);

  2. Resume the thread whenever required

    ResumeThread(hThrd1);

How do I suspend this running thread. I may resume it after sometime, but I want to suspend it now.

I called 

    SuspendThread(hThrd1);

Still the for loop in the ThreadProc keeps running. Now how do I avoid it? Also suggest me for any alternatives.

    I got the problem. Initially thread HANDLE hThrd1 was declared inside WndProc. Since WndProc is being called again & again, the HANDLE that I got during CreateThread was not the same that was passed to suspend thread. (It was an embarrassing mistake)

    Now I have declared it globally. This solves the problem and works as intended.
