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.

You're making this more complicated than it needs to be. I don't know exactly why your app is closing, but SetConsoleCtrlHandler(NULL, TRUE) should do what you want:

If the HandlerRoutine parameter is NULL, a TRUE value causes the calling process to ignore CTRL+C input, and a FALSE value restores normal processing of CTRL+C input.
