This answer could be incorrect if the thread creates any windows. In this
case it will be
a much better design to use either MsgWaitForMultipleObjects() or
MsgWaitForMultipleObjectsEx()
instead of Sleep(), otherwise your system could fall into a deadlock. Please
update your knowledge about
Sleep() from the built-in Windows SDK help files.
