Hi Guys,

I need a way to be able to track all the threads that i launch. Cause one of my program's requirements is to kill one or all threads based on the option selected.

Enumerating all threads from OS does not help because the thread ID is different. Is there a way to manage threads launched by a program by just thread(adressof sub) or threadpool(addressof sub) . I need to be able to track and queue them and selectively kill one or all based on the option.

With one thread its easy cause all you do is threadname.abort?(), but with multiple all have the same name but different IDs.

I'm a beginner at this and i'm using .net and VB

You can keep track of them with the process ID. The best way to do this is launching using WMI Win32_Process. You can get the PID on launch of the process, and also use WMI to kill processes. See, ex: http://www.microsoft.com/technet/scriptcenter/resources/qanda/jul05/hey0701.mspx

Monitoring the process can't work for me in this case because launching a thread does not launch a seperate process, the main process remains the same and threads are launched with Background="true". Anyway, to track threads launched from inside a program individually and kill them?
Thanks,
Shak

For threads, the WMI class would be Win32_Thread .... (as long as you know the ProcessID and ThreadHandle)

Can also take a look at
Multithreaded Programming with Visual Basic .NEThttp://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa289496(VS.71).aspx

and Check the 'Canceling tasks' section.
