Check if a Win32 thread is running or in a suspended state

Question

How do I check to see if a Win32 thread is running or in suspended state?

I can\'t find any Win32 API which gives the state of a thread. So how do I get the thread s

Answer 1

WMI's Win32_Thread class has a ThreadState property, where 5: "Suspended Blocked" and 6:Suspended Ready.

You will need the Thread's Id to get the right instance directly (the WMI object's Handle property is the thread id).

EDIT: Given this PowerShell query:

gwmi win32_thread | group ThreadState

gives

Count Name  Group
----- ----  -----
    6 2     {, , , ...}
  966 5     {, , , ...}

WMI has a different definition of "Suspended" to Win32.
