How to kill a thread ?

Hi ,

How do I kill a thread that was created by using CreateThread API ?

And what is the difference between TerminateThread and ExitThread APIs ?

I am running a code within a newly created Thread wihch basically just runs an infinite loop but I can't manage to stop or kill the thread in order to exit the loop !!

When I try calling the 2 APIs above, instead of ending the thread, they just manage to crash the whole application :eek2:

Any thoughts ?

Thanks
