SetConsoleCtrlHandler routine issue

Question

I\'m writting a console application in C++.

I use SetConsoleCtrlHandler to trap close and CTRL+C button. This allows for all my threads to stop and exit properly.

Xavier's comment is slightly wrong. Windows 7 allows your code in the event handler ~10 seconds. If you haven't exited the event handler in 10 seconds you are terminated. If you exit the event handler you are terminated immediately. Returning TRUE does not post a dialog. It just exits.
