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

I think the state here is referred to as

• If thread is in thread proc , doing some processing Or
• Waiting for event

This can be taken care of by using variable which can tell that if a thread is actually running or waiting for event to happen.

These scenarios appear when considering threadpools, having some n threads and based on each thread running status , tasks can be assigned to idle threads.
