There must be a function that gets the current status of a thread in the system because
there is this application: http://www.softwareverify.com/cpp/thread-status-monitor/index.html

It must be using some sort of API function or something... How can I get a thread state myself in C++/Windows?
thanks :)

(this is my last question for today. I promise :))
