Hello. I am new to multithreading and was on my way through a simple tutorial when I ran across this line to end the primary thread.

return (int) msg.wParam;

I am used to ending my programs in 'return(0);' and was curious as to what the significance of this statement is? Is this the way a thread (using windows API) checks for a success or failure on program termination? Or is there some other reason for this statement?

Thank you in advance for the help!

Tyler.
