AfxBeginThread & AfxEndThread

In normal Win32, we can create a thread with CreateThread and therminate it anywhere with a valid thread handle will do (CloseThread).

But in MFC, we create a thread with the AfxBeginThread and terminate it within the thread itself by AfxEndThread. So, does there any way for me to terminate the thread outside the Thread?

Can't you just create a thread like you would in a normal non-MFC Win32 App?

A worker thread will end when the function ends either by return or by calling AfxEndThread with a return parameter.

You terminate a thread from outside by decalring a handle to thread outside of the thread, then get the m_hThread member inside the thread, then you can use TerminateThread(handle) but that is dangerous.
