Thanks. &nbsp;And I can rely on the fact that each thread will have a *completely unique* ID, yes ?

Thanks.  And I can rely on the fact that each thread will have a *completely unique* ID, yes ?

<div>
Every thread has unique ID among currrently running threads. Otherwise OpenThread API could open wrong thread.<br />
I don't know whether created thread ID can be equal to ID of thread which finished some time before.

Ah hello.<br />
<br />
I am creating a thread via AfxBeginThread, and I would like to know how I can get hold of the ID of the thread. &nbsp;I can obviously assign some data structure to the thread that contains some identifier, but I would like to know the correct way to get the ID.<br />
<br />
Any ideas ?<br />
<br />
TIA
