You can suspend a thread at any time by using the SuspendThread function. You can also perform additional tasks on a thread. The following table describes these tasks.
To |
Call |
| Resume running a thread | ResumeThread |
| Suspend a thread for a specified number of milliseconds | Sleep |
| Profile the performance of a thread and return how much time the thread has run | GetThreadTimes |
When suspending a thread more than once, you must match multiple calls to SuspendThread with the same number of calls to ResumeThread.
