I remember there was an API like

CurrenThreadIsMainThread,
but I cannot remember the correct name (or maybe may memory is wrong).

Someone knows the solution?

thanks,
Mauro.

"obtain" == "Get"

GetCurrentProcessId

The VCL has a global MainThreadID variable for that.

If you want to obtain the ID manually, then you have to call
GetCurrentThreadId() in the context of the main thread, such as during
program startup.

That returns the "process" ID, not the "thread" ID.

Yes, I need MainThradID.

I knew already GetcurrentThreadId().

Thanks,
Mauro.

So what's the problem then?  Like I said earlier, MainThreadID is a
global variable that is defined by the VCL.  Simply use it as-is, for
example:

    #include <System.hpp>

    ::PostThreadMessage(MainThreadID, WM_SOME_MSG, 0, 0);

Oh no, no problem.

I wrote "I need MainThreadID" to confirm you that it was the answer that I 
need :)

Moreover I knew already GetCurrentThreadId(), and this is because I looked 
for
a similar GetCurrentMainThreadId, but you told me it does not exists.
I justed want to write a condition to know id the current thread is the main 
thread
and now I will use
(GetCurrentThreadId() == MainThreadID)

Thanks again,
Mauro.
