But these approaches don't really answer his question, which is a way
to detect when a thread finishes. This seems to be a trickier
problem. One way is to use a Timer to check the State property from
time to time. Or perhaps one could do some trick with a semaphore so
that one thread is blocked until the specific thread releases the
semaphore.
Or register a handler (an observer) that the thread calls when it's
completed and about to leave the Run event.
Or, if you've just dragged an instance of the thread onto a Window,
create an event in the thread that it calls as it exits the Run event.
But wouldn't this event handler be invoked in the thread, as opposed to
the other thread that wants to know when this specific thread is
finished?
