Here is the proper way to wait for a thread to terminate:

// declaration of thread pointer
 CWinThread *m_LoaderThread;  // thread object

// starting the thread:
 m_LoaderThread = AfxBeginThread(LoaderThreadFunc,
       (LPVOID)this, // pointer to this class
       THREAD_PRIORITY_NORMAL,
       0,     // stacksize
       0,     // create flags
       NULL);   // security

// waiting for the thread to stop
  HANDLE hThread = m_LoaderThread->m_hThread;
  if (::WaitForSingleObject (hThread, 5000L) == WAIT_TIMEOUT)
  {
   theApp.AddToLog("LOADER thread thread did not terminate");
  }


You could get the handles to more than one thread and use WaitForMultiple...
if you wanted to.
