>>I need to be able to interactively set the thread priority of a FoxPro exe. Looking at the SetThreadPriority api call, I notice that I need a Thread handle. How do I get a thread handle of an already running process. Or if I call the exe with CreateProcess is the thread handle available to me there?

CreateProcess() returns a thread handle to the first thread started in the Process it creates (as well as Process handle, process id and thread id) in the returned PROCESS_INFO structure. API_APPRUN parses this to get the process handle and thread handle in the ParseProcessInfoStruc method.

Thanks again, Ed. This is the first time I've actual have a use for the API_APPRUN file. < s >
