  HANDLE hThread,
  int nPriority
);

Parameters

  • hThread
    [in] Handle to a thread.
  • nPriority
    [in] Priority to set for the thread.

    This value can range from zero through 255, with zero as the highest priority. The following list shows the symbolic names for some values of nPriority:

    • CE_THREAD_PRIO_256_TIME_CRITICAL
