You can't, since threads do not have the kind of parent/child relationship you 
describe while running. Even though one thread creates another, they all siblings.

You can however can pass GetCurrentThreadId(), or a DuplicateHandle() of 
GetCurrentThread(), to the threads you create using the 'lpParameter' of 
CreateThread().

Kind regards,
