If you have a lot of threads that you want to terminate when the program 
  terminates this is the method that i use.
1)Create an event (MyTerminateEvent).
2)When a thread waits, always use WaitForMultipleObjects and include the 
MyTerminateEvent.
3)In the main form's destructor (the the projects .cpp file, if 
necessary) signal the event and then wait for the threads to terminate. 
  MyThread.WaitFor for a TThreadObject.
(I have a thread holder class that does this, and you will need to use a 
similar construct if you create a lot of nameless threads.  There is a 
counter that the threads increment/decrement on 
creation/end_of_processing[threads memory may not be deallocated at end 
of CPU time].  When the counter reaches zero, all threads have quit and 
the program can too.)
