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

you could get thread suspend count with code like this:

DWORD GetThreadSuspendCount(HANDLE hThread) {
    DWORD dwSuspendCount = SuspendThread(hThread);
    ResumeThread(hThread);
    return dwSuspendCount;
}

but, as already said - it is not accurate. Moreover, suspending a thread is evil.
