Multithreading-checking status of all child threads(returning values) in main thread

Hi All,

I have just started with the threading, i am having an client server application in this, i am creating three threads and having same thread function. i am passing values through all thread and returning values to main thread. in that if one thread returns me some value and and other are in execution.
i wanted to check the status of all thread at main thread function and kill all other threads which has not returned yet!!! can u please guide with some example so that i can understand the flow...

Thanks & regards in advance.

OK, but since this a Non-*Nix ( not necessarily, Linux, or Unix, etc. ) forum, we need more specific information as to how you are trying to go about threading, and what concepts you might be using, that could affect what factors into the approach to threading.

Are you using STL, Boost, or what? What sort of threading are you using, Linux, Posix, something else??? Are you working on a Unix-like system, working on MS-Windows, Mac, or what? What library call, or comparable, are you using to create a thread?
