    SetThreadDebugName

    Set the debug name for a thread.

    Declaration

    Source position: threadh.inc line 173

    procedure SetThreadDebugName(threadHandle: TThreadID; 
                            const ThreadName: AnsiString);

    procedure SetThreadDebugName(threadHandle: TThreadID; 
                            const ThreadName: UnicodeString);

    Description

    SetThreadDebugName can be used to set the name of a thread in a debugging context. A debugger can use this information to show the name instead of the thread ID, thus making debugging easier. The current platform's TThreadManager implementation must support this call.

    Errors

    This call does nothing on platforms that do not support threading.
