[RESOLVED] check if a thread is still running?

[chaos75]

I would like to know how to check and see if a thread is still running or not.

for example

private sub mysub1
dim thread1 as new system.threading.thread(addressof mythread1)
 
'i only want to start the thread if it isnt allready running
 
'if thread1 isnt running then
thread1.start
'end if
end sub
 
private sub mythread1
do while a = true
some code here
loop
end sub
