Multithreaded Console application similar to windows Application.

I am creating a multi-threading console application where the primary thread initiates 2 more threads. One reads data on sockets and other logs the data in file.

Now i want that the primary thread should be capable of handling window messages like WM_CLOSE or minimize/maximize. If i am able to capture these messages i can gracefully exit my secondary threads and clean up memory allocated and close all open threads.

I want to know how can i capture the messages in console window program when user clicks on close/minimize/maximize button.

SetConsoleCtrlHandler, signal, and atexit pop to mind.

Well i tried
atexit()
but then it only works if application reaches normal end.

If application is doing something and i press [x] button it does not execute.

I wanted any kind of termination should be handled and done some clean up operation and then exit.

So handle CTRL_CLOSE_EVENT (via SCCH) and whatever else you may need.
