A thread ID is not the same thing as a thread handle. The ID is just a unique number that is assigned to identify the thread. The handle points to the actual thread object itself. > Is there a way to retrieve the handle from this structure? On Windows 2000 and later, you can use OpenThread(). On older versions, there is no direct way to get a thread handle from a thread ID and vice versa. Have a look at the following posting for more information: http://groups.google.com/group/borland.public.delphi.winapi/msg/ed9350f2ffdd3432 Gambit
