Remarks

Windows CE does not support priority classes. The order in which threads are scheduled is determined only by their thread priorities. A thread can have one of the following priority levels.

Priority	Meaning
THREAD_PRIORITY_TIME_CRITICAL	3 points above normal priority.
THREAD_PRIORITY_HIGHEST	2 points above normal priority.
THREAD_PRIORITY_ABOVE_NORMAL	1 point above normal priority.
THREAD_PRIORITY_NORMAL	Normal priority.
THREAD_PRIORITY_BELOW_NORMAL	1 point below normal priority.
THREAD_PRIORITY_LOWEST	2 points below normal priority.
THREAD_PRIORITY_ABOVE_IDLE	3 points below normal priority.
THREAD_PRIORITY_IDLE	4 points below normal priority.

In Windows CE, a thread with a priority level of THREAD_PRIORITY_TIME_CRITICAL will execute until it explicitly yields processing to other threads. Processing of these threads is not yielded to other threads, even if another thread also has the THREAD_PRIORITY_TIME_CRITICAL priority level.
