Hello ZOPPO,<br />
<br />
I used GetUserNameEx function to retrieve user name and domain of given thread. This is much more easier than your approach.<br />
<br />
What is advantage over your approach and mine.<br />
<br />
Tnx,<br />

Well, I posted the above comment since from your question it wasn't really clear what exactly you need.<br />
<br />
The 'GetUserNameEx' returns info about the calling thread - my suggestion can be used to retrieve info about any running thread (as long as the calling thread has permissions to query info about that thread) - so, you could even i.e. use it to enumerate through all threads running on a machine and determine the user who started these threads.<br />
<br />
If you just need the info within the running thread for sure 'GetUserNameEx' is much easier ...

Hi,<br />
<br />
I am having a C++ based COM application which is a multi-threaded application. A number of threads are spawned from main process, I would like to retrieve the user details of a thread at run-time, which functions should be used.<br />
<br />
Thanks,<br />

Getting the user details of a thread at runtime

C++ is an intermediate-level general-purpose programming language, not to be confused with C or C#. It was developed as a set of extensions to the C programming language to improve type-safety and add support for automatic resource management, object-orientation, generic programming, and exception handling, among other features.

Programming theory deals with the design, implementation, analysis, characterization, and classification of programming languages and their individual features, along with introductory programming concepts like program structure, variable declaration and conditional and looping constructs. Sub-disciplines include the formal semantics of programming languages, type theory, program analysis and transformation, comparative programming language analysis, metaprogramming, domain-specific languages, compiler construction and run-time systems.
