Suspend and resume the main thread in C for windows

I need to be able to pause and resume the main thread in Windows C applications I used it

handle = GetCurrentThread();
SuspendThread(handle);

Then where should it be restored

ResumeThread(handle);

Pause its work and resume it I have other threads suspended and resumed. No problem. Is there something different from the main thread

I've done a lot of threading work in c# and Java, but this is the first time I've done anything in C, and I find it a little different

Solution

Do you use the "handle" value obtained by getcurrentthread() in another thread? If so, it is the value of forgery To get the real thread handle, use the DuplicateHandle or try

HANDLE hThread = OpenThread(THREAD_ALL_ACCESS,FALSE,GetCurrentThreadId());
