HOW TO Get threadHandle from threadId

[Manab]

I can enumerate all threads running and get threadId and other info. BUT NOT
the threadHandle hThread. ONE NEEDS THE threadHandle hThread to manipulate
it including TerminateThread. I need for Windows 98

You'd have to use the OpenThread function te get a handle to the
thread, then CloseHandle to close it. However, OpenThread only works
on Windows Me and later.

Thanks Mr Sjogren,

Yes I had earlier looked for OpenThread (akin to OpenProcess) in kernel32.dll
for Windows 98se but no luck. I searched in vain in APIGuides for any other
alternative. I am still hoping there may be some other way to get the precious
hThread handle
