GetThreadId(HANDLE).

[voodoomagic]

hello,

just a quick question (i hope :P) about the GetThreadId() function in devcpp. well for me, its not there. i looked it up in msdn as way to get the id of a thread for which i have a handle to, and i went to use it and it wasnt defined. so i looked where it was defined (in winbase.h) and its not even there.

does anyone know an alternative to this function, or something i can do to get access to this function?

thanks

The GetThreadId function has very little to do with devcpp. It's a minor detail, but if you don't understand that we're talking about the wrong problem.

Are you using Windows Server 2003? I doubt it, and that could be your problem. Have a look at the requirements section.

The "See Also" section immediately below might help you out with finding an alternative.

um, i dont think my operating system is effecting that.

im using windows xp. and the problem is that when i try to compile a program that has GetThreadId(HANDLE) in it, i get an undefined reference error.

Requirements

Server: Requires Windows Server 2003.

DevCpp uses MinGW as compiler env. Therefore it's a MinGW problem, not to have that function compiled and available to link.

The adapted SDK that comes with MingW is probably just a little outdated, so that the function you want is not available.

o, ok lol i didnt see that <requires windows server 2003>, is there anyway to get the id of a thread?

Check that link out, I think it's what you want.

Client: Requires Windows XP, Windows 2000 Professional, or Windows NT Workstation 4.0.

Typically, if you have a thread HANDLE you also have its ID. How are you getting a thread handle without an id?
