You should never end a thread this way. A much better approach is to simply set a flag that is checked regularly by your thread. When the flag is set, the thread knows it has to end and it will do it naturally (instead of being killed in the middle of something).

You should never use TerminateThread(), since it can easly cause deadlock in your application. Check this[^] and the documentation from MSDN below. MSDN: TerminateThread is a dangerous function that should only be used in the most extreme cases. You should call TerminateThread only if you know exactly what the target thread is doing, and you control all of the code that the target thread could possibly be running at the time of the termination. For example, TerminateThread can result in the following problems: Well, you could use event object to implement same behavior. Well, in the mean while i found this thread[^] also. May be useful to you. Regards, Jijo.

As previous replies stated, you should never call
TerminateThread(since there are better ways to handle your scenario).
