Hello

If I want to send a message to a particular thread, how can I do that.

I know I can TerminateThread, but I want to do some housekeeping before
closing the thread. What is the most efficient way of doing this?

In my thread I am using WaitForSingleObject - waiting for events to become
signalled in a loop. Can I wait on this plus some thread message I can send
from outside the thread?

Really confused and looking for guidance.
