    Threads terminate when parent process does?

    I'm an uber newbie to threads in Windows...so I'm creating a test program to get the swing of things. I'm using AfxBeginThread, and creating a few threads. I expect to see them all run to complete, but after the parent process is done creating the threads, it exits, and the child threads die.

    How do I fix this?

    Thanks!
    Andrew

    Your main thread has to wait for the child threads to complete.
