This function is called by wxWindows itself and should never be called
directly.
\membersection{wxThread::Exit}\label{wxthreadexit}
\func{void}{Exit}{\param{ExitCode }{exitcode = 0}}
This is a protected function of wxThread class and thus can be called only
from a derived class. It also can be called only in the context of this
thread, i.e. a thread can only exit from itself, not from another thread.
This function will terminate the OS thread (i.e. stop the associated path of
execution) and also delete the associated C++ object for detached threads.
\helpref{wxThread::OnExit}{wxthreadonexit} will be called just before exiting.

For detached threads Kill() will also delete the associated C++ object.
For detached threads Kill() will also call \helpref{OnExit}{wxthreadonexit}
and delete the associated C++ object, however this will not happen for
joinable threads and this means that you will still have to delete the
wxThread object yourself to avoid memory leaks.
This function can only be called from another thread context.
This function can only be called from another thread context, i.e. a thread
can not kill itself.
It is also an error to call this function for a thread which is not running or
paused (in the latter case, the thread will be resumed first) - if you do it,
{\tt wxTHREAD\_NOT\_RUNNING} error will be returned.
