Must CmtReleaseThreadPoolFunctionID() be called from the thread in which CmtScheduleThreadPoolFunction() was called?

[pblase]

(Running on Windows XP) If I call CmtScheduleThreadPoolFunction () to start a secondary thread - say from a menu item in the main program, must I call CmtReleaseThreadPoolFunctionID() for the resulting Thread ID from the main thread also, or can I call it from the secondary thread?

Perhaps another question would be: is it better to create secondary threads as needed when the main program starts and suspend them? Or is it better to create them as needed?

It is recommended that you make sure to always terminate every thread other than the main thread before your program terminates.Take a look at the following:
