Thread: waiting for semaphores

I'm creating a semaphore in my program's main window. The semaphore is created like this:
if(!(d.hSemf= CreateSemaphore(0, THREAD_COUNT, THREAD_COUNT, 0)))
return(0);

In each thread that is created, i WaitForSingleObject(d->hSemf, INFINITE) to signal that it still is running.
When the thread is closing, i ReleaseSemaphore(d->hSemf, 1, 0) to signal that it is closed.

In the main window's WM_DESTROY, i try to wait for the threads to close by using the following code:

Code:

iI=0;
while(iI<THREAD_COUNT){
  if((lRes=WaitForSingleObject(d.hSemf, 100))!=WAIT_OBJECT_0 && lRes!=WAIT_TIMEOUT)
  iI++;
}

This doesn't work, and i can't figure out why!?

WAIT_OBJECT_0

Why skip?

Ok, a little typo..

It still doesn't work though...

I can wait for the seamaphore, and fetch it once.
My idea is to have one object for all threads.
The object is used to wait for all threads to terminate before a database connection is closed.
Today i'm using mutexes, but this requires an array of mutexes, and a semaphore would be easier, since it's only one object that is decremented when a thread starts, and incremented when it stops.
I thereby can wait in the main thread for the semaphore count to reach a certain count before terminating.

All threads terminate?

Figured it out.. The semaphore was closed a few lines before i tried to wait for it..

Stupid error, but fixed now..
