I am sure this has been covered before but I can't find any references to
it.

I need to suspend an active thread using SuspendThread and ResumeThread. My
problem is I need to use OpenThread to get the handle in order to pause it.
But when compiling my VC++ app cannot find it.

I get "error C2065: 'OpenThread' : undeclared identifier"

I have the latest W2K SDK installed and can see the definition in winbase.h,
but cannot understand why it doesn't want to compile. Am I missing aditional
libraries which I should include (apart from kernel32.lib)?

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Presumably you do #include <windows.h> in your source?

Have you perhaps got one of the lean/mean symbols (like
WIN32_LEAN_AND_MEAN) defined for your project? These bypass much of
the lesser used declarations in the SDK headers.

Checked that... i don't have that directive set.

By the way, I am on XP. Would it make a difference if I try and compile on a
W2K platform?

Did you look in stdafx.h?

Where have you checked? It could be in a source file, header file, in
your project preprocessor settings, or even in the CL environment
variable.

No - at least it shouldn't!
