NoSnipeLimit

Hello,

I have an application that creates a thread to execute a ping function. The concept i think is pretty basic. Below is how I call the thread.

with F_Main do
begin
p_MyPingThread := Ping_Thread.m_Create(True,
ThreadSOBJ,
Description,
h_DriverWindowHandle,
h_DriverFormHandle);
p_MyPingThread.FreeOnTerminate := True;
p_MyPingThread.Resume;
end;

So i create the thread and free it. When i look at my task manager i see the thread being created, then freed. However, the total handles keep increasing. Anyone that could explain to me why this would happen?

Kind Regards
Anton

The act of terminating a thread does not close it's handle.

According to the win32 help file ....
which means you need to pass the thread handle to the win32 API function CloseHandle().
