= getThreadRetVal =
== Syntax ==
:{{int getThreadRetVal(int hThread)}}
== Arguments ==
:'''hThread'''
:: Specifies the handle of the thread whose return value we want.

== Return ==
:Returns the exit code of the specified thread.  If the thread is still running, returns ((STILL_ACTIVE)). Returns 0 if '''hThread''' is not a valid thread handle.

== Description ==
:Use this function to retrieve the exit code value for the specified worker thread. If the thread has completed, the exit code is the return value from the ((OnCtl)) handler. If the thread is still running, the code ((STILL_ACTIVE)) is returned. If the thread handle is not valid, or the function fails in some other way, 0 is returned.

== Comments ==
*The current implementation of this function is broken. '''getThreadRetVal''' will currently only return 0 or ((STILL_ACTIVE)).
*Everyone can add his or her comments here about his or her experiences with this function. Tips for using it are welcome, too.
