Hello out there,
I have the following requirement: In a third party package threads are
created like this:

    tHandle = (HANDLE) _beginthreadex(NULL, (unsigned) stackSize,
		proc, clientData, 0, (unsigned *)idPtr);  
    /*
     * The only purpose of this is to decrement the reference count so

     * the OS resources will be reaquired when the thread closes.
     */
    CloseHandle(tHandle); 

Within this package only *idPtr is used. to identify a thread.

Now I need to suspend / resume these threads, which requires the
handle - which is gone due to the call to CloseHandl.
Is there any way to suspend / resume a thread given just its 'thread
id' ?
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Best regards
Helmut Giese
